    Cool

    wear a light weight balaclava and that will tighten up the helmet space a bit more... or grow your hair really long.

    Sure, pad it to fit. Just make sure you'll never actually need it.

    Top of the line helmets (Arai etc) have replacable check pads and liners for different size/shape heads otherwise you're shit out of luck. Buy a new helmet dude.

    OK because I've laughed too much already at the previous posts I'll offer something a bit more helpful. If your helmet padding has compressed and you require a slightly snugger (?) fit you could go to a bedding manufacturer. One that makes the beds from scratch - not a reseller. I think up that way there might be an outfit called Waitakere beds? Someone selling the Natural Rest brand. Or you could try getting ahold of Vita NZ they have different types (hardesses) and thicknesses of foam.

    Errmmm, I know it always comes down to $$$$'s but you only have one block.

    Sell your helmet on trade me, keep it for a back up in case you get a large blocked pillion and buy one that's tight and makes your face pucker like a squirrel with a face full of nuts.

    I don't like the idea of your brains being swizzled around in a largish helmet with a whole lot of extra padding between you and the bits that actually do the right job when it's needed.
    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

    You confused little boy.

    I have another spare helmet thats a tighterfit but its not a flip face and it bends my glasses frames. My helmets ok fit, I just want an extra 1cm padding to make it snug as bug. You 40 yr old men with jobs that pay in money forget that when people start out in there working carrers and are still at uni their bank balance is usally around 5k to 30k in LOANS. Not only that, but they have no income at the same time.....
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot
