Kawasaki KLE 500
Bit of background: The whole biking idea was SWAMBO's, so that we can do weekend trips and get out a bit.
Four months after getting the KLE 500, I got my license Friday past and SWAMBO "demanded" that we go for a ride on Sunday.

Was not much of a ride as it started raining, BUT we immediately noticed one major problem (taking into account that neither of us are bikers and it is her 1st time a a pillion and my 1st time carrying a pillion on the bike):

WE KEEP BUMPING HELMETS!
When I change gears
When I stop
When I decelerate


She is sitting flush against me with arms around my body and I started to lean forward (almost uncomfortably far forward) to avoid the headbutts, but to no avail.

Advice please!
