If there are grab handles tell her to hold those as you break for lights etc. Also if it is a controlled smooth brake she can put her hands on your back. I do it all the time with Kerry and he has never said it hurts, bugs him. When riding aggressively or under hard breaking, I would always brace on the gas tank.

And for the record I do not lean with the rider, I lean with the bike. I try to stay in line with the bike because the rider may chose to shift his weight further to the inside.
