  1. I need ergonomic information & pictures about the headrest position,
    distance to the head, angle, etc in a recumbent trike and bike.
    Anyone have them?

  2. I've got one on my M5 Shockproof.

    I don't use it while riding, because it seems to affect my equilibrium.

    If I were to try to eliminate the problem, I would try using a softball
    sized inflatable ball under a cover for the following reasons:

    It would allow me to roll my head about easily

    This would also give it great adjustable suspension.

    Maybe a flat headrest with a hole smaller than the ball would work.

  3. I get ache on my shoulders after very long ride, that´s because I keep
    moving
    my head to front to help get speed when doing force, I need something to
    limit the head movement.

    A possible solution could be a soft neck brace, but it would be
    uncomfortable in hot weather.
