Oval head options?

I thought this was going to be a thread about the NR750.

True. But the head on an oval piston motor could also be referred to as oval. And yes, the Elf bikes were pure sex, I am still in love with any bike that has the hub-steering front end. I'll own a Tesi one day.

Focus people. It's about my damn oblong noggin!

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll give 'em a shot. As long as it doesn't have super-fragile plastic bits that break all the damn time (and it fits), I should be good to go.

Shoei hemets fit oval heads pretty well (me) and I use a Shoei with a Hi-Def shield. I tried on an Arai Profile and it seemed more comfortable than the Shoei, however I have not ridden in an Arai so I don't really know what they are like at speed. It doesn't matter much since I can't afford one anyway.

That's right- just the cheek pads. They don't change the fit really. Takes way too much pumping to get any noticeable change. Just a gimmick

The EXO700 and to a point the EXO1000 fit the same shape as the RF-1000- mine

Kind of a relaxed/neutral oval.

Hmm I dunno... He fits Arai... in my experience it has always been if an Arai fits you well, Shoei is going to be the wrong shape, and vice versa.

Every Shoei I've tried was somewhere in between round and oval.

Arai fits more people, because they have a more diversified range of fits including extreme round (Quantum), extreme oval (Profile), and in-between (RX7 and Vector)

maybe the RSI is a different fit...
