Headrests..
Can anyone recommend a headrest for the Bacchetta recurve seat besides the ADEM?
While I'm sure it's a fine headrest, as a retired G.I. it's beyond my price range.
Thanks!

I think the ADEM is the only commercially available headrest for the recurve. You can't lay the recurve back any more than about 40 degrees anyway, which is quite upright, so the market demand for a headrest on that seat is nil. You'd probably have to rig something yourself.

How about Steve Sussman @ thefinerrecliner.com he custom builds all kinds of recumbent bits and pieces. I have a headrest and a side mount for a handle bar bag he designed, might have something for you.

I'm currently running a homebrew headrest on my Encore. Since I think I will eventually replace it with an ADEM once budget permits, I have not drilled the Encore seat==Instead I used Gorilla Tape to stick the headrest to the front side of the seat so my body weight holds it from unsticking when I lean my head on it.
