Author Message   Pkman Posted on Monday, January 19, 2009 - 04:00 pm:        I have a 2006 Barricade Orange XB12X with the original seat. My wife actually likes riding with me on it except the orange part of the seat cover is really slippery. Has anyone come up with a cover that is less slippery?   Etennuly Posted on Monday, January 19, 2009 - 04:20 pm:        Get her a pair of riding pants that has material that will grip. There is a lot of room for a passenger to move around back there and I have found that when my passengers have jeans on they will slide around for sure.   Pkman Posted on Tuesday, January 20, 2009 - 08:49 am:        Great idea - thanks!   Glenn Posted on Tuesday, January 20, 2009 - 09:06 am:        Buy a small roll of rubber shelf honey comb liner at Walmart or a kitchen store. Cut a small piece and have her sit on that. It works great.   Ratbuell Posted on Tuesday, January 20, 2009 - 11:32 am:        Ratchet strap, around the waist, to the tripletail   Pontlee77 Posted on Tuesday, January 20, 2009 - 12:39 pm:        http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BUELL-XB9S-XB12S-AN TI-SLIP-PILLION-SEAT-COVER_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkp armsZ66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a10Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318QQ_trks idZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem110339880123QQitemZ1 10339880123QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Check this one out, a friend got one made for his Uly, so they must have the measure and it works miracles.   Gs750t Posted on Wednesday, January 21, 2009 - 07:51 am:        This has worked for us on several different bikes. The SO is always complaining about slipping on the seat when wearing her riding gear. It's cheap, too!!!   Pkman Posted on Wednesday, January 21, 2009 - 08:53 am:        Thanks for the suggestions. I'm trying to contact triboseat, but I may have to try a sheepskin.   Pontlee77 Posted on Wednesday, January 21, 2009 - 09:54 am:        I live In Spain, if you need any help with tribo seat i can speak with my friend he may still have the measures so they make the right one for you, he payed the same as the post on no extra cost for having one made to measure   Pkman Posted on Wednesday, January 21, 2009 - 03:07 pm:        Thank you for the offer Pontlee77. I ordered one and they said they have the pattern for a Ulysses.   Glenn Posted on Wednesday, January 21, 2009 - 07:01 pm:        I mentioned using the CHEAP shelf liner stuff and I don't know if it was understood so here are a few pics. The stuff on eBay looks like the same deal to me. The pictures below show the piece that I use on my Beemer. Note that you can cut a much larger piece to suit but you don't need much. This works!!   Pontlee77 Posted on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 06:31 am:        Yes thats what tribo seat uses, just they make the stitched edge and some elastic material to make it fit in to place.
