Evenin lads ...
@ Shadow ... I'll be keeping an eye out behind me in the future matey ... she does wrigle about a bit sometimes! lol lol lol
@ Sprock .... Yep! .. Good suggestion ... but the extenders move the peg forwards too ... and on the CBR that would move her feet too close to mine ... that would cause very restricted movement of my feet, so I'll have to rule them out! Good idea tho! ... Thanks.
Which brings me back to having the seat reprofiled!
She's only 5' 6" so would a couple of inches extra in the seat height really change the CofG that much? ... Wouldn't it be like having a taller pillion passenger?
Thanks for the suggestions so far!
What we tend to do at the moment is have short stops very regularly ... so she can stretch her legs ... gotta keep her sweet!

my lady friend got into riding this year. she went out for a ride with me the other day on back and half way through the ride she mutters "this isn't fun at all. i should have rode my bike!". now i just have to get her to ride enough to keep up with me so i dont have to ride around at a snails pace.

You could try a King and Queen seat with raised queen portion

... Thanks matey .... that's what I was thinking of when I was talking about re-profiling the seat! Might pop over to your neck of the woods and have a chat with Roy-the-Stich at Bootleg Bike seats in Preston!

If your going to the expense of having a custom seat done - get gel inserts added at the same time.
Sometimes when the bum is comfy - the legs dont object as much.
Mate of mine used to get pins and needles in his calf when riding - he had gel inserts put in to his seat and it all went away.
Give me a shout when you decide to come over - I will try to meet you & grab a brew.
