Second Rider handles?

I am new to the sportbike world, and I am wondering if there is a better device to provide handles for my passenger.  Is there some type of belt I can put on that gives her  handles?  Or handles built in to a jacket?  The new bikes have such a huge elevation difference between the seats that simply "hugging" the rider is no longer an option.
Thanks.  

Any info?  I ride an 07 600RR.  If there isn't a mouse trap out there such as what I described in the earlier post, I am going to seriously look at an FJR.  

there should be a strap on the rear seat toward the front.  that is what it is for even though i use it for my hat or whatever if i dont have my seat cowl on.  when i go 2-up, i usually have the passenger brace with the tank.  the elevation difference is because the fact it is a SS bike.  SS bike is a race ready bike.  if you are more for riding 2-up than riding twisties then maybe a SS bike doesnt fit you, just my .02
