Maybe this will help

Out of Winterization, installed a battery, primed the fuel system and checked the tire pressures... and rode the 95 for it's Spring opener. Nice rip in the Snohomish Valley after work and stopped for a beverage and some sweet potato fries at one of my favorites places, Duvall Grill and Tap Room. EDIT: WRONG FORUM!!! Sorry. I'm still leaving this here.

How long since your last new helmet? While a headache is perhaps a sign, where are the pressure points that are giving pain? I sold helmets for over a decade, from the 90s into the 00s. If it has been a while, a properly fitted new helmet can be a shock.

Thanks for the update D. Good to see you're still in the game! Getting old sucks, but it beats the alternative.

A quick and easy way to check correct fit of a prospective helmet is to begin with a large size and work your way down to a snug fit... and that is after you get it on your head and without buckling the chin strap, snap your head side to side in quick movements... if the helmet stays snug and follows your head then the size is probably correct... if it moves about then it is too large... try next smaller size... what you'll end up with is knowing what is too large and what is a snug fit without going too tight... in other words the correct skid lid for your cranial...

We sold Acerbis shirts at the Honda Shop. It said "Ah" had a chair and the some bees. Underneath it said, "Say it right, dammit!"

Arai actually has three shapes in their line up, depending on model. Round-oval (Quantum, and it's derivatives), intermediate-oval (Renegade family?), long-oval (Signet).

Yes. I always expect a new helmet to be tight. It will adjust to your head and cheekbones, and you will adjust to how it feels. Far better than a lid that starts too loose. In the worst case you can change pads. And...I bought an AGV K6 S last year, and posted a review here on VFRD. I'll try to find it for you but the short answer is I love it so far. Light weight, field of vision and build quality.
