It looks like your question was answered, but there may be others still thinking about it.

I haven't had a Shoei Helmet for the last 20 years, but have been going with Arai. I like them because they have different models for different shaped heads.

In the past, no matter what I wore, Shoei, HJC, AGV, etc..., I always took off my helmet and had a giant red spot on my forehead. Aria fixed that. I'm comfortable and no longer had a red spot.

I also love the Touring Models because you get both a clear screen for the night driving and a tint for the sun. Works great!

No matter what you wear, ALWAYS wear ear plugs! Hearing loss is guaranteed as you get older. Might as well keep them as long as you can!

There are also a lot of color and style choices once you figure out what shape head you have. My head is not round like a ball, but rather long from front to back. So the Signet-X or the Signet-Q models fit me best.

Have fun shopping! It ain't cheap!

After years of suffering with a Shoei, I found an Arai with the right shape. Not all Arais have the same shape but Arai always has a helmet model that fits my head.
