Has anyone used a phantom pad? I have a solo seat and I was thinking about getting one instead of switching seats.Are they safe for a passenger with suction cups holding it on the rear fender???

I have been wondering the same thing. I see they also make one that has a mounting tab, along with the suction cups.

I rode next to a Big Dog Ridge Back for around 200 miles one day, they use a suction cup pad and his wife never fell off. I asked them about it and they said it has never even slid since they used it. For what it's worth.

The reason I questioned if they were safe is becuase after reading the add. describing them it said in small print not for passanger use cosmetic only??? :rolleyes:

If your gal or guy for that matter holds on to you the only thing they can lose is the pad. Known many people who have used one with no problem. I am looking to get one for my bike because I am not going to drill the rear fender for a pillion.

I have one that sticks on on my chopper. You just about can't get that thing off once its on there, I'm happy with it and my Wife hasn't fallen off. :)
