What's the best passenger handle bar? Vinxx Grip looks the best in terms of stability, but I'm a bit worried that passenger will be leaning extra forward, which makes less room for me.
I had PSR 2-UP on my Ninja 300 and had the same problem.
There are some adjustable ones on eBay but I don't know how good they are.
yeah but that didn't work for me, I found it uncomfortable and dangerous.
Having passenger bars made a world of difference, because you can keep your passenger stationary, which means, a lot more stable.
Imagine having 120 lb of stationary weight on your rear seat for example, you should be able to handle your bike just fine. But I found that the reason why it's so hard to ride with passenger is because she moves around, even if it's a slight movement, it kinda keeps me off balance.
The ones in the form of a loop seem like they would be safer for the rider....
Having a rigid pointed (granted, very dull) pair of bars right in front of your short ribs seems like a bad idea in the event of a crash. The loop is slightly less dangerous, since it has a smoother overall shape......
If you hit a car head-on, or nearly so those things will beat you like a bat, and tangle up how you would normally come off the bike. Getting hooked in the gut by something the shape of a bull's horn seems like something to avoid.
Better for a passenger; some small increased risk for the rider.
As I nearly always use a tank bag, and never carry passengers this is just an opinion.
ok I just did a bit of research and looks like it's a common problem that passenger will be leaning extra forward than you do, so that passenger will inevitably have to lean forward on you.
Somebody made a mod on Vinxx Grip and looks like it's working very well.

in the photo looks like the position is just as similar to A-Sider and PSR 2-UP though.
