I found it odd at first. I'd wager I have the largest head on the board (Arai XXL only helmet that fits and it's squishy) I recline only 3 clicks from the first "lock" (4-5 clicks with the helmet on). Key was to move the seat forward to the point where you can put your heel on the clutch all the way to the floor easy. Ie, more forward than I normally would - then adjust the wheel back as needed so you can rest your wrists on the top of it.
And just a quibble - it's a head RESTRAINT not a head rest. Your head should not touch it when sitting normally. It also needs to be higher than the top of your head because your body lifts in an impact. If the top of the restraint was in the middle of your skull, you could snap your neck on a hard hit. Flipping it around is as stupid as taking it out IMO. The IIHS crash test results are partly due to the passive factory restraints. Some older ones actually tilt forward in a crash but better to just be there normally.
