Wife did it a few times on the GS1100E with no problems but get her on my Sportster with a back rest and she would fall asleep. I'd feel the bike do a little wiggle and I told her I'm going to strap you to the back rest next time lol. The good thing is she's never been on the B King cause she probably fall off and I wouldn't know it.
You can switch those B-king passenger pegs from one side to the other, and the reversal of their angle causes a big drop in the peg height.
It looks funky, but to just take 4 bolts out, for a rare passenger ride, it was much more comfortable according to my ex, and I sat up there and it really was.
First trip on the bike was with the wife over most of the length of this country. Coming from a 2023 Road Glide with stock suspension and a top box both of us were just blown away with how comfy the busa was two up. Like better in every way save the sound track and storage..
That said I do much prefer the bike solo. The hump is on now ands I donts reallys wants to takes it offs.. ;-)

Yep, the hump makes it go faster too. How far is the riding length of your country?
Yup. . . that blue line goes right thru my little town (Darfield).
Last time I rode a bike thru the North Island was 2004, hard to believe how 20 years has gone so fast!
I have great memories as I was with a bunch of mates and we had a ball!
Awesome pics of the Mother Land, Godzone.
What's the lake's name you're parked up at?
Classic Kiwi Countryside.
That was Sailors Cutting on Benmore, and Lake Tekapo.

you guys know in the 1/4 mile the b-king is faster, and at top end the busa wins, but who in the hell rides there, most of us ride within the speed limit, so for all out power the b-king wins, sorry kids but the b-king is faster

Does someone know the best (comfortable) position for a passenger on a sport bike?
I of course lean enough to keep my elbows bent, then my wife bent her body too, to keep a good contact, then she complained she couldn't keep long her head up. I certainly do a lot of fitness to my back to be able to ride long but this is not suitable for the passenger. My usual position is that one:
Now what do I tell her, provided of course I refrain from sudden accelerations etc.?

A Corbin passenger seat with a backrest, or a passenger backrest in general, plus a set of drop passenger pegs will help to get her a little more upright, and the backrest will allow her to relax and not put so much of her weight on you.
