I have a HJC full face helmet size XXXL. When I got it the wind noise
was nonexistant. Now with a little age on it and some modifycations to
make it fit better the wind noise is as bad as the shell helmet I use
when I just cruze town.
My question is: is there any way to reline this helmet to bring it back
to the way it once was? Are there any other brands of helmets that are
big enough to fit and not break the bank?
As for the ear plugs, I'm glad I'm not the only one that uses them on
long trips.

Kraig, I use a Nolan N-100 with the chinguard that lifts up and out. �
Of course, the visor operated independantly. I always wear a full-face,
and for me, this style is the only way to go.

A good helmet makes all the differance in the world.
����I used to have a AGV $75 helmet. By the time I was done with
my 4 hour non-stop ride, going 80MPH with a 40MPH head wind(120MPH
combined)the front of my neck was KILLING me. That thing had vents all
over it. It looked sharp but was minimal on the face padding and cut the
wind like a bus. At that speed the helmet would create lift and start to
want to lift off my head!
����When I got the new Max, I ordered a Shoei RF-800 in
Anthracite(a good color match for the carbon Max's) for $250. MAN WHAT A
DIFFERANCE! That thing cuts the wind like a knife. No wobble, no lift.
Tha face padding is approx. 2"'s thick. That makes a good seal and cuts
out alot of the wind/engine noise. It's only got one vent on the top
wuth a hole the size of a pencil, but it really works. Leave it open in
the winter, and it feels like someone is scalping you with a ice knife!!
I have a question foy you guys. Has anyone tryed the type of full helmet
that the chin guard rizes with the visor. It seems really popular with
the Germans here at Fort Bliss. On the basses you have to wear a "full
face". This type fits the requirement but still alows you to open it
fully to a "open face" for these 115 degree summers in the desert.
