I had a similar thing on the rear seat piece on my ER6f to stop my wife sliding forward under braking when two up.
I took the seat off, wrapped this stuff around and taped it together on the underside. From a distance you couldn't
really see it either. Definitely kept my nuts from a regular crushing. Trouble is when my wifes on the back is she's
looking at the scenery rather than the traffic, so is often not ready for braking. This problem seems to have fixed itself
with me getting a faster bike, she pays a lot more attention to the traffic and what I'm doing on the back of the Spacker.
The seat isn't as big either so she's not quite as comfy as she was on the last bike. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

that anti-slip stuff looks pretty good tbh I'm assuming it doesn't stick down though, how do you stop it moving about or you have just pulled it very tight under the seat? can you cut it? I think a couple of strips of this on the seat would do the job.
tbh the A* trousers are pretty good but I don't understand why they don't have a more abrasive bit on the arse so you stick to the seat more, I notice all the textile trousers I looked at didn't have any different material on the arse.
it was OKish yesterdsy with just boxers on so might just get some 100% cotton long johns to wear, rather than base layers where I seem to slide in the trousers themselves too |

In fairness, if you're sliding about inside your bike trousers while riding, you're going to have a bad time if you crash. The armour will land up in all the wrong places causing stress risers on your bones and you'll get some epic friction burns from the synthetic lining. Believe me, these hurt. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Textiles are not allowed in any kind of racing? They do not make them to fit like leathers. The protection is not all over.
Well fitting leathers are known for the ability to hold a crushed limb together, which can prevent excessive blood loss and swelling, or large peices of broken limb being thrown into the hedge. |
You're comparing apples with pears though. it's abrupt deceleration (ie hitting something solid) that kills you, not the slide. Tracks have huge run-off areas, you can slide a very long way. As such a longer slide with a slower deceleration is probably the best way to crash. And while tyre barriers are not exactly pleasant to hit, they are more yeilding than a Skoda Yeti.
Out on the road, there is much more out there to hit. The textile fabric will bring you to a stop more rapidly, hopefully before you hit that wall/kerb/skoda.
To entirely flip your statement. You almost never see moto-x, rally or enduro riders in leather. It's always textiles plus armour. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
