Riding with a dog in the K9 Moto Cockpit feels like a mix between riding with a duffle bag and a human passenger. The Cockpit keeps your dog’s weight low and as far forward as possible. In part, this causes the load to feel a lot like having a duffle bag secured to your pillion seat and luggage rack. Also, the dog’s torso, chest, and front legs, which are the heaviest parts, are located directly on the pillion seat. So, the best description is that riding with a dog feels like riding with a duffle bag with a head that moves around to catch the sights and sounds.
