I don't use the grab rail, but as I only have small hands myself, the couple of times I tried it I agree about it being a struggle.
Try a renntec rack.................nice thin top rail to hold on to.

Sounds like she needs to switch to the old 'reach around'. No worries about too fat there, I imagine

Also, one other thing.....get some anti slip matting for the pillion seat. You can buy a proper cover, but just a cheap bit of matting works fine. It makes it so much easier as the pillion doesn't slide forward.

its not easy to hold onto the grab rail when pillion. its useful for braking but I use love handles with my pillions. never had a clash of helmets. but i dont brake so its not a problem.
