Should I get rid of my pillion seat?
Hey folks. I am in the process of modding my bike for an RTW trip. I'm re-designing the entire back end of my bike to move the turn signals, brake light and license plate and license plate light further back on the bike for improved visibility.
AND - I have been pondering modding my seat to a single seat - no passenger or pillion seat. This would allow me to create a lower back rest - I have one of these on my old bike and LOVE it. It would also give me more storage room on the bike - less in panniers.
As I ponder there are certainly times I could imagine missing having a passenger seat - but for the most part it may even be advantageous to not have one. My biggest concern is in an emergency being able to help someone.
What do you folks think.
