Default Race style headrest for a sportbike

Yeh, seriously this isnt a joke, its a real product.

It reminds me of a dildoh. Just imagine hitting a bump and having your chin slip off the pad and that thing slam you in the adams apple.

And if you get a chance take a look at the race headrest vest. I'm not sure what it does other than be a mesh vest that is too sexy for the bike

Injury waiting to happen. Lawsuit imminent. Worst idea ever.

The Throttle Rocker is a pretty mainstream product. I see them around all the time.

That headrest is just dumb, though. If your abs and back can't support you, your neck sure isn't going to like it. Just strap a pillow to your tank, sissy.

So NOBODY out there has gone out and bought the sportbike-dildoh headrest? I saw this, and I though what a great product, I can put one on the triple tree to support my chin, and another on my seat to support my ass!

Or just stick with the stock screen. Aftermarket screens raise the wind towards your neck instead of your chest where it could help prop you up. The only benefit to an aftermarket screen is when you're in a full tuck. For all other times I'd rather have the stock screen.

The headrest is stupid! Now I did have an actual armrest thing... the thing rocked. But at least it didn't look like a cock sticking out of the tank, like derf posted...

If you're head/neck is that tired then you're doing something wrong. You're still having to use your neck muscles when laying your head down. It's useless.

I see countless sport bikers going down the highway in full tuck. Lean up retards. A little bit of wind in your face isn't going to hurt you. Hell it'll be 40mph gust and I'm one arming and leaned fully upright and Joe Smoe is all over his tank like a fat chick with a B-day cake.
