new crash hat !

Hi All. I have a Shoei xr 1000 helmet that is very comfortable, however when riding my Norvil I find that I am looking between the top of the pinlock visor & the top of the helmet aperture(about 1/2"!) not good!

Can anyone of you cafe racers out there give your views on what works for you?

Thanks in advance, Paul

extra layer of thin sponge above your head :?:

The only time I've had that situation was when I was forced to borrow a helmet that was to big.. Sometimes people buy helmets that are comfortable when new and when they break in they are to loose. They should be a little uncomfortabley snug at first.

I wore XL helmets for years so they wouldn't be too tight at the temples, but Shoeis were always loose front-to-back and needed extra padding on top to keep it from riding too low at the brow. I had an XL Arai RX-7 Corsair (crashed) that was better, but it also needed extra padding at the crown. I just purchased an Arai Corsair V, size large. All I had to do was shave down the cheek pad foam (could have purchased thinner cheek pads). The Corsair is more of a round shape than other lids and fits my weirdly-shaped head very well. I'll save the XL Shoei Qwest for cold weather when I can wear a thicker helmet liner. I never wear a helmet bare. I normally use a Slik satin helmet liner to ease removing and putting on the helmets and keeping my earbuds in place. Looks like a village idiot hat, but who cares? It's all about comfort when riding.
