Hi everyone,

Does anyone know where I can change or customize my helmet foam?

I have a GIVI X16 and it is fine for short trips. For longer ones, the compression pain comes in after an hour.
And it really hurts until I have to stop, remove the helmet and let it settle down.

I really should get another helmet but kinda got use to this one and trying to save a bit of $ smile.gif

Thanks,

my suggestion
remove the liner, wear the helmet, see where the tight spot

you have 2 options, either use finger to press down the tight spots, or, shave the liner to thin that area.

Change of plans... time for a new helmet. Thought I can change the inner lining to XXXL but no chance.

Any distributor/resellers can measure your head and do recommendations?
Any advice on ADV style model which suit Asian Heads?
Budget wise below 3k MYR will be nice...

It looks like Shoei is the only one that advert for head measurements unless i am not mistaken

Narrowing down to
1. Shoei Hornet
2. Arai TX3
3. Bell MX-9 so far

Bro @alexei made a very good suggestion. I took a spoon and a rather rounded blunt metal handle and compress "pressed" down the foam area where the pain occurs.

Viola, compression pain no more. Bliss. Now can ride for hours without any discomfort with balaclava.

Narrowing down to Shoei or Arai now. Most likely Arai, need the airflow unless i go with goggles...

Thanks. yes it worked for me when I started riding years ago with a Shoei that time.

I took that Shoei to PFS and their Japanese tech just chased me out, really, chased me out. Not complaining here, just describing what happened. It was during Sepang booth, and it was crowded, and they were worked hard. They won't even look at it, not gonna touch it. I told them just add a few of those sticker pads or freshen up the cheekpad, just 'no, no, no, not fitting for this helmet'...
