Powermadd Rider Hold-Tight

[ArmyJoe]

I was wondering if anyone has experience with this product or others like it: http://www.powermadd.com/products/riderholdtight.html

I'm looking for options for the wife until I can afford a backrest.

I have something similar that the wife used while snowmobiling. Worked great.

I had one of those! When my kids were little I used to strap that on so they could hold on to me better when we were out snowmobiling. I guess it could work on the spyder, but I don't think I really need it.

Think I'd rather have the passenger hold onto the Spyder's handles, rather than pull us both off the machine:yikes:.............IMO, products like that are better suited for 2 wheels......

:agree: I can just see my hubby losing his balance holding on to me and taking me right off with him!!! He outweighs me and I'd have no chance to hang on if he really got tossed off.

We don't have a backrest either. But Ron says he's fine back there. So whatever we do about this it's next year's project. I'm thinking top box with backrest instead of the BRP sport rack and backrest.

The Kewlmetal rear rack and backrest may be a bit cheaper than the BRP rack and backrest system.

We've decided to go with the Corbin heated seats and large ovalback backrest, but I'm juggling need, delivery time, and cost.

My wife is afraid to ride without a backrest, but this late in the season, I'm not sure how much use I'll get from the seats, once I get them.

I would rather use the money for a road trip and order the seats in March.

I have also seen a device the driver sits on that is like a seat belt for the passenger. I would think this would eleiminate the concern about the passenger pulling the driver off. However I am not sure I want something tugging at me all day "down there". hmmmmmmmmm
