2 weeks ago I went to car junkyard and found a good size of headrest off a driver's seat in black bmw, I pulled it out and only cost me $10 for it. My girlfriend always ride with me, it was annoying when she hold me too tight.. she didn't like ride with no backrest or anything cause she ride on my reflex with givi trunk on back where her back rest on it, she's used to it.

I don't mind my wife holding onto me tight.

That is pretty clever though. I have the top case, so I think I am going to buy a Givi backrest and mount it to my Piaggio top case.

That is a very good idea, and use of an old head rest. Good job, Beale.
