I wear a head wrap, the friction keeps the helmet from dipping.So I'm noticing that my helmet is coming down real low across my eyes when I go into full tuck into a corner. It's pretty annoying and is fouling up my BP because I can't seem to get low enough without blinding myself. I have an Arai profile helmet and the fitment seems fine but the lower my body goes (particularly when cornering), the lower the brow line on the helmet goes.
I read that it's fairly common and that some people add additional padding to the crown of the helmet to solve this. Anyone else have this problem and what're you using/doing to aliviate this problem?
Head wrap? Like a du-rag? I don't think that would be enough. I was thinking about using a washcloth or something like that, but wasn't sure if someone already made a product to help with this.I wear a head wrap, the friction keeps the helmet from dipping.

Yeah I find Arai helmet sizes a little odd they always feel a size to big or small!I do the hair spikes. But you could try 3M super spray adhesive
Seriously though, i had the same prob with Arai and Shoei as well. When I was doing the control /instructor gig for ti2tt AGV gave us helmets.. problem solved,as the eye port is higher. If you gotta have the Arai, get the smallest size you can get into.. the padding will conform and become more comfortable aftre some use.
I have an old bayliss replica AGV helmet, it was a mid size helmet which usually fits me. It was pretty loose even with a dew rage on. I was able to order a small size liner and new visor (scuffs) from my local dealer. Some helmets use different foam for sizes and some use different liners. I think you may be able to order a new liner. Mine as I recall pulled right out and was held on by velcro. I guess you could just add a thin layer of foam you could get at an upolsterer!I remember from trying them on, Arai and AGV fit me the best (round oval shaped). The AGV is a little less oval and I felt like the Arai fit best at that time. It might also be time to get some new padding on the inside.. it's been a few years lmao. (kinda gross now that I think about it).
I was hoping that I wasn't going to have to buy a brand new helmet and that there would be some type of simple fix; extra padding, thicker padding, etc..
I read somewhere that some people even use paper towels (the blue, shop towels) and add those to the crown of the helmet and it helps them. Seems like a viable option except for when you take the helmet off, you'd have to replace them with new ones and who the hell rides around with a roll of paper towels...
ahhh allergies! Got it!This issue is only one of the reasons I cannot wear Arai.
Actually, I think it more of a testament to how many head shapes/sizes/combinations thereof that there actually are.It funny how every helmet manufacturer has their own completely unique vreson of the shape of a human head
I have an Arai Quantum 2. Haven't experienced that issue at all. I'll recommend a solution that costs nothing, is very obvious, and I'm surprised nobody mentioned it....raise your head!
No reason to have your head on the tank when you're going through a turn. I've had issues with the helmet dropping down and heard others have this issue, but on straights when you're going 130+, and that's usually from being too big for your head or from not being strapped properly. Never had or heard of issues like that in corners...unless you're Lorenzo and you wear an HJC![]()
