Korben Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Thin balaclava underneath. My ears rub on the inside and it makes them very sore. Thin balaclava pins them down!! Hope your helmet is not too lose mate. You want a tight fitting one. Safer that way. A lose fitting helmet can be dangerous!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I was going to suggest something a bit more drastic - http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa39/snagglepuss_album/plastic_surgery.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philgale Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 your lid sounds like it could be too loose, if you can move it, it will be too big especially when the form thins out inside it will be even bigger....my lid made my ears fold over but now its molded, and the inside got a little bigger its fine....just give it time to shape itself and give a bit, it will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest philgale Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 no you dont need boots, training centers generally give you lid jacket and gloves....get the guys in the shop to fit the lid for you, i got one lid from hunts honda and the guy spent a good half hour with me and made sure i got a lid that fits....my first lid the guy didnt give a shit.....just said "you wanna try the other size" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 what make is it, some manufacturers only have one or 2 shell sizes so they never fit properly as they are more padded if you have a small head. try diff makes and you will find the fit varies a lot.

Hoody Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 You'll be lucky if the shop takes it back. Most have a policy that once it's left the shop they won't exchange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I got mine from the local Honda dealer, he spent loads of time on checking the fitting, didn't feel ripped off or that he was pushing me towards stock he wanted to shift, steered me away from flip front lids and felt happy with his advice.Guess you need to find somewhere with a Salesman who knows what they're doing, it's a big purchase, so you should make sure you're happy to give them your hard earned cash.Big Mal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
