Helmet Lift!!!!

Hello Everyone

Do any of you get any helmet life when you get on the torque!!!

I have Shoei XR1100. Have owned for just under 2 Years. I have done 150MPH + on German Autoban on my K6 1000 and never had problems with the lid.

Now on the speed triple when I open her up, I seem to get a slight lift on the lid. The fitting is perfect going through all the usual tests!!! I have changed the pads from 35mm to 39mm and still the problem exists. Maybe it's the wrong lid for a naked bike.

Do any of you own Shoei XR 1100 and experience this issue?

Do any of you own other good fitting lids and still experience lifting at high speed?

Thank you all

 

Exactly the problem I am facing. Either lift or press. Thanks roadrider. I am thinking maybe I don't have a Shoei head :-(

 

Thanks people. I have 2 lids already. My Bell M6 is perfect and I cannot fault it in any way. I was looking at the Rebel but can't justify buying another lid :-(. Maybe I'll try 41mm cheek pads instead of the 39mm which I have at the moment. I would like to get good use out of my XR11 for atleast another 2-3 years.

 

I guess everything is a trial and error. My local bike shop has 41mm so I'll give it a go tomorrow. I just hope it's a 30 quid well spent. On Saturday I've to do a 450 miles bike trip. Let's hope it works.

 

I didn't even know my S3 will do 150 MPH !!!!

 

I got my 41mm pads today. It feels snug the way it should be. I will let you guys know how it pans out after my Saturday ride

 

Ok here we go. The helmet is snug n doesn't lift BIT now I'm getting a little leak through the visor. So annoying. I need to adjust the base plates. I hate touching them as they are a pain to get it right. If I had the I'll just grab the arai rebel n be done with it. Ah well. ..I guess keep adjusting n hopefully it will fall into place

 

Tell me about it. ...Darkman
