TheBluePig Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hello all! I'm new here and about to take delivery of my new YZF-R125. I've got all my gear but i'm not happy with my helmet - a Caberg V2 407. It looks massive on my head, not helped my the fact i've got a very small body! Anyone suggest a helmet that'll come down in size not only on fitment but size in general? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barkwindjammer Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I was going to suggest getting Botox injections to make your head slightly larger, we're probably only talking about 2-3mm in circumference, after Googling Botox and seeing the prices involved, it would be more cost effective to purchase another helmet, in a smaller size of course HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBluePig Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 I do not lie! This is the truth. Imagine a bodybuilder, win a pin-head. I'm quite the opposite when i've got me lid on! what size is your helmet as i have just listed 2 simpson helmets on flea bay a rx fr(full race) and a simpson super bandit both come with 3 visors all brand new and neither of the helmets have been worn ever as i collect simpsons and have 15 of them...they are both 59-60cm fittment and can be found in salonk1-jersey e-bay name. both of these lids are stunning so take a look simon Size 56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 If the helmet fits your head, then that's how it goes. Any smaller than what you require and you'll have problems. I'm 5' 11" and I wear an L-size Caberg V2. It makes everyone look like a Spaceman. But then, it does have all that protective padding, which is kind of the point, really..... I say bollocks to it - Either you have the wrong size helmet or, if it fits and is comfy, you don't. Who cares what it looks like? It's there to save your life and the Cabergs are very good lids.

TheBluePig Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 aye i appreciate the fact it's there to protect yer head, but i could of sworn i heard that one brand made helmets that shrunk in outter-size the smaller you went on the inner size? Or have I made that up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
up.yours Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 there are some brands that have different shell sizes ,and they have different liners to suit your bonce size, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Or it could be that the liner has compressed (over a period of years) and is now loose. If it's less that 2 years old, there's probably a fault. But if the problem is just that the correct size makes your head looks big, either live with it or try a different brand/model of helmet. That's the way the cookie crumbles, I'm afraid. Me, I don't have to see myself riding, so I just wear what's comfy.

up.yours Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 you could always try the pisspot type of helmet they look smaller than a full face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Pisspots are illegal in the UK and most coppers know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
