Using your core muscles help with not putting all the pressure on the hands.

Get a sport tourer
I guess I could say me too. It has been so long since I rode as a passenger I kind of forget what I did. But what I do remember is having my arms loosely around Erik while moving and acceleration. When he would brake I would either brace against the tank or put my hands behind and grab the tail section to keep from sliding. Also would tighten abs/core and use legs to control myself as well.
Head is generally right behind him, not much looking around, maybe even closing eyes (but NOT SLEEPING) and just allowing myself to move as the bike moves.
