For all the hundreds of threads about seats and such, I have never seen this product mentioned on this forum before. I just ran across it for the first time myself, so I thought I would post it. This looks like a certifiable winner for your pillion on long trips! It's the same basic concept of the Russell Daylong seat, but removable and at a much more affordable price.

Not bad for the passanger. But what about those who dont have an altered seat of aftermarket seat?
Kinda short there.

This is a passenger only application and I believe is made to fit right over a stock rear seat (provided a few basic measurements allow for it).

Good concept, but a kinda dumb name. Sounds like a candy bar or something.

I don't get complaints on the stock pillion but I will show this to my neighbor that rides a Strat O Liner..his pillion sucks.

Since I never sit that far back, guess I just don't need one.

I just looked the site over and according to the measurement requirements, a stock pillion seat is too wide to accommodate this thing. The firms specs say that the width can be no more than 11 inches and I measure my pillion at 13 inches at the widest point. Didn't go further after that. Yeah, the name is kinda goofy but the idea is good except that it is not a permanently mounted seat. Anything that moves, or can move, kinda scares me.

Might work nice on the Vaquero pillion.

If it works as described I guess thats a great idea. For some reason I doubt its really as good as they claim. I have a gel pad called a Butt Buddy, for the riders seat. Its ok but after a while its really no different than the stock saddle. And it really absorbs the heat in the hot weather.
