Passenger sliding around
I'm new to riding, about 3000 miles so far on my Dyna FLD 2012 and wife has just started to ride with me. She is a bit timid and her complaint aside from not having a seatbelt is that she slides forward and back on the passenger seat.
She's about 104 lbs and it's a stock seat with a HD backrest. Is there anything I can do to cut down on her sliding? I bought a grab strap and considering putting that on but I don't know if that will really help her.

My wife was doing the same at first and every time I would brake or leave from a dead stop her helmet would hit me in the back of my head. I told her she needed to trust the backrest and sit back and keep her feet firmly planted on the floorboards and hold onto the strap, Once she got comfortable with that she never had an issue after that and now enjoys the ride, Make sure she is leaning and looking into a turn / corner with you, Also clean your seat with water and not with detail spray.

Have her ride naked.... and the natural suction "down there" will hold her in place.
Slide her sideways to get her off.
Aussie housewife, got out of the shower and slipped over on the bathroom floor.
Instead of slipping over forwards or backwards, she somehow slipped, did the splits and suctioned herself to the floor.
She yelled out for her husband Bruce. "Bruce! Bruce!"
Bruce came running in.
"Bruce, I've bloody suctioned myself to the floor" she said.
"Strewth!" Bruce said and tried to pull her up. "You're stuck fast girl. I'll go across the road and get me mate Wayne".
They came back and they both tried to pull her up. "No way. We can't do it" Wayne said "Lets try Plan B."
"Plan B?" exclaimed Bruce. "What's that"?
"I'll go home and get my hammer and chisel and we'll break the tiles under her." Replied Wayne.
"Spot on" Bruce said. "While your doing that, I'll stay here and play with her *****."
"Play with her *****"? Wayne said, "Not exactly a good time for that mate?"
"No" Bruce replied, "But I reckon if I can get her wet enough, we can slide her into the kitchen where the tiles aren't so expensive"
