I find riding with a pillion is a piece of cake if they're halfway good at it, can be really hard if they're not, or if they're heavy.
My girlfriend's like she's not even there, even more so if there's a top box. With a top box I can literally do whatever I want, but she's spot on without too. Usually both hands around me, or one front and one on grab rail.
She usually puts her left hand in my jacket pocket, or holds the pocket with her thumb in it and fingers outside.
You just need to be a bit more considerate, remember they're there. I will usually pat her leg or something if something is coming up, or more usually, if I'm going to overtake, move out a little early, or roll on slightly before the big push so she knows.
