Phantom Pads Are A Great Way To Add A Pasenger Seat!

Phantom Pads basically make what I like to call lick it and stick it motorcycle seats for a passenger. They are really simple to take on and off and do not damage your paint.

Phantom Pads stay in place by the use of 6 suction cups which are strategically placed on the bottom of the seat. You don’t have to lick them or anything and actually they recommend you don’t.

One of the most important pieces of gear a rider owns is a good pair of motorcycle gloves. As with any other gear for riding a motorcycle the style and type of glove you choose will depend on the area you ride and, the type of bike you ride (cruisers vs. sport bikes), and also the climate where you ride. You're standing on your porch, it`s a gorgeous day, fall is in the air and you can`t wait to ride. You jump in the saddle, hit the starter, flip up the stand, twist the throttle and your off -- in the wind without a care in the world. Suddenly you realize the gloves you have on just don`t cut the mustard -- it`s cold! This is an easily avoidable problem.
