    Hi all ,just wondering if any of you who take a pillion regularly have had a problem with this? I first noticed this about 2 months after buying the bike that the wife's boot top was rubbing the sharp bottom edge(if this makes sense) of the riders seat(the part that sticks out the furthest, just above the pillion foot peg :eek: after this I replaced the seat with a brand new one and told the wife to wear her leathers over her boots , but I've noticed the second seat seems to be wearing thin in exactly the same place, but hasn't totally wore through like the first one, I've taken the first seat to my Honda dealer and I'm waiting to hear what they've got to say about it, it just seems a bad design fault that if you take a passenger regularly you'll be needing a new seat every 1000 miles or so.
