Non Slip Bike Seat
Just installed one of these. My wife cannot believe the difference it makes to the standard Teflon seat.
Highly recommended! Neil http://www.triboseat.com/r1100s.htm

Don't have the time now (at work) but will have to search to see if there is a USA distributor. Looks like a very well thought out product, and simple. (Hit self in head - why didn't I think of that?!!!)

Here is another slant on non-slip seats:
An important part of riding is the ability to shift your weight to the inside of a turn. At the extreme, this = hanging off. Racers often use talcum powder to make their butt slide easier. If you need to shift weight quickly, do you really want a non-slip seat impeding you? Perhaps a non-slip seat is great during straight line riding (although I can't imagine why), but ... |

if you take a look at the product, you will see it is only for the pillion and it makes a whole lotta sense having the girlie friend slide forward under sudden braking.
even when i have her on the back, i still move around the seat in corners. wouldnt mind getting one of these as well. repoe3

Repoe: Ok. Should have looked before I spoke. Does make sense in that case. I never double-pack. How would I know?
But "girlie friend"? Hmmm. |

looks like a cheap piece of non skid rubber from Lowes with a piece of nylon sewn around the perimeter. Think I have some of that stuff, may have to break out my daughters sewing machine this weekend:-) I wonder if my wifes bottom will have the textured look of a waffle after sitting on it for a few hours...

I have been using the same material tucked under the seat since last September when a friend on a Honda VFR 800 was using it for his passenger. It works great.

Texas: a US distributor for Lowe's? remember, in the world of motoring, someone is always trying to find a new, unnecessary way to separate you from your $. make it yourself (such self-satisfaction there is in that), or just go for the Rick Mayer upgrade, and get a seat that is actually comfortable.
WS: waffle-looking wifey butt? have her wear pants, rather than just panties. unless of course that is the look & feel you are going for. of course, YMMV.
