Default Head restraint - right side

a while ago, someone posted a link where you can add a right side head restraint to a kirkey seat. Does anyone remember the thread, or the site that sold this acessory?

Seems like it would be a great saftey feature, and a rather simple installation.

For a Kirkey seat, you can get away with just bolting their side-impact "tab" to it. Not as safe IMHO as a harness, but much easier.

yes, that TAB is exactly what I am talking about.
Someone posted a link.... I'll have to dig it up somehow..

It seems so simple, especially after someone posted their helmet hit the passenger seat upon impact.
