if there's a gap there's a gap. What makes you think 1 finger gap is too small? ____________________ trevor saxe-coburg-gotha:"Remember this simple rule - scooters are for men who like to feel the breeze on their huge, flapping cunt lips."

I would try adventure helmets too, my Agv ax9 is ok, but the bmw one I use in work is amazing and they have a trade in offer on at the moment. |
Thanks for suggestions, will have a look.
I used to have Shoei that fitted well so Ruroc is well worth a look. |

Hi all
Thanks for the suggestions and I've managed to find one that fits
Started looking at the adventure helmets and now have a Nolan N70-2 GT, which has a removable chin piece which gives the room I need and has a nice wide view which is what I need as a returning rider.
Cheers |

I have a funny shape head.
Helmets always sit really low on me, like they're rotated too far forward. The top of the visor area sits on my eyebrows and the bottom of the visor sits below my nose. I basically end up looking out of the top inch or so of the visor even when sat bolt upright. If I racing-tuck I have to crane my neck at a mad angle to see anything at all
I have tried countless helmets over the years, honestly probably over 50 different models from every manufacture you can imagine. In the end I have learned to compromise and find the best possible fit I can with my funny shaped head taken into account.
Sounds like maybe you have to join me in that club
Actually as it goes, last time I bought a helmet I did eventually find one that fits better than any other helmet I have ever owned before. Still not perfect, it still sits too low on my eyes, but for the first time in near 15 years in the saddle I own a helmet that is actually genuinely all day comfortable and doesn't leave me with funny marks on my bonce. Hurrah!
Good luck in your endeavours, but sometimes you have to shrug and accept it if you're not quite cut with the same mould as the average person! ____________________ I am a bellend, I am a man of constant sorrow, I am a gummy bear, I am a rock. |

Who wants to be average eh
N70 isn't perfect straight out of the box and sure it'll settle a bit, but also have lightened up a bit about how much gap I have for my chinny chin! |
