Helmets

My RF1000 is very comfortable. I did notice a lot of road noise and determined the stock cheek pads to be too thick/dense for my square or block jaw....lol!!!! With a thinner set of cheek pads installed, the rest of the fit no longer distorted allowing the helmet to better seal off. It is now much more quiet with it being much more comfortable as well (still wear ear plugs for long trips). Being stubborn and on a roadie without a whole lot of dealer options along the way I tried to mash the stockers down at night by taking the cheek pads out and setting a motel room chair leg on them while I slept. Kinda worked......needed thinner pads. Got 'em. Very happy. No leaks, very comfortable. Excellent product.
