Ridiculous Head

[Kaben]

I hate my mother. And my father, for he was involved too.

My head is just the most fucking annoying shape its untrue. No fucking helmets fit me correctly, not agv,kbc,shark,nitro,shoei or arai do the trick.
They are either too short front to back or too tight around the back of my head, or too loose in general.

EXCEPT, and this is what makes me laugh,the Shoei X-Spirit and the Arai fecking Corsair. I think i officially have the worlds most expensive noggin.

Either of these helmets will set me back well in excess of £400, which is just plain GAY.
I dont have this kind of money - had been saving pennies for ages to get an xr1000 but it just wont fit right and im not paying for a helmet that doesnt fit correctly.

The helmet i own at the mo is a Shoei XR800 which is well past its sell by date (was my dads). All other XR800's i have seen for sale say NOT FOR ROAD USE on them ??!! (its not an ideal helmet anyway, whole point of replacing it was to get a lighter and better fitting one )

Im just so irritated, i dont want to have to fork out so much money

Bad luck mate.

You could try hollowing out a mellon*

Like your sig/avatar

If the Corsair fits you then the Astro R should too, not a massive saving but still a saving. I've got an RX-7 and tried on an Astro R as a replacement and both are the same fit for me, or as close a fit for me to not remember a difference, if you know what I mean.

Try a Roof helmet. Worked for me when no others would.

Do you only want a full face lid?

I see some nice looking Caberg open face ones, would look a bit stupid on a sports bike

I have a Tackechi T36 lid for £65, I would have loved to buy a more expensive helmet but money is an issue, so the fact that the cheaper lids are just as safe is one hell of a good thing I am not sure whether the same can be siad about cheap leathers

The more expensive lids have more comfort, better materials, lighter etc.

The Astro-R is a bit blunter in the chin it seems than the Corsair, makes me have my chin against the bar permanently. Saw the Edwards yellow Corsair for £399 on J&S - lovely paint scheme, but still too much money.

Raid II would have been good, but the fit around the back of the head is not right.
I did just see somewhere i can get a plain black X-spirit for £280, so that could be ok. (untill i find out that its £100 for delivery or some other con lol)

I absolutely Refuse to where a mellon.
*sigh*If only limes were larger - GM really isnt a bad think you know.

Cheers for all the insights guys - i will try and find a roof dealer in my area. I must say the visor systems on Roof lids look horrible though.

yep it is, good knowledge.
The other thing is , i will feel like a right prick wearing a £400 helmet on a 125 with L-plates

And the bikes only worth £900 itself!

Try FM lids. My head wouldn't fit in anything apart from top line arias, but the FM ones fit it well.

suomy have very strange sizings. you could try one of them on as they also have less expensive options....plain colours but certainly not as expensive as the £400 fancy ones they do!.
