My professional opinion is to teach her how to ride. When accelerating, have her hold on to you, and when braking or slowing down have her place her hands on the gas tank to support herself. When you slow down, don't down shift, put it in neutral or hold in the clutch and come to a roll. Its much easier for her to ride. A good rider is just as important as a good driver.

i would also recommend the corbin seat with the backrest... gonna cost you lotsa $$$ since the rear seat alone is $200 + shipping... not sure how much the backrest is though but the good thing is you can take it off and on whenever you like.
It'll look REALLY REALLY REALLY weird though on an f4i. Gonna look like a sportbike/harley. lol.

my missus does hold on and use the tank when needed - I always ride easy but sometimes cars pull out and I have to brake hard - I do the tap for 'Im opening it up' technique and it generally works well - thanks for advice but I think I wont bother with the back rest - lol - harley honda- never....
- I think the 'get her a bike' is the best option.... now wheres my wallet....

Save your money & just do the hand tap & teach her instead
