>>I rode an '84 Harley FXR with an older, very comfy FLH seat for almost 20

>>For most of those years I wore an open face helmet, but had a windshield.
>>Not a large one, but large enough to get behind.  In '99, before a trip to
>>Colorado from the SF area, I bought an Arai Quantum, size large.
>>
>>And now I'm getting to the point.  When purchasing that helmet, no effort
>>was made by the salesperson to 'fit' me with the right size.  Arai helmets
>>come in four head shapes and the Quantum is next to the roundest one.  I
>>bought a large Quantum and it felt fine.
>>
>>At the recent IMS show in San Mateo I tried on some Arai helmets and the
>>large Quantum still felt the best.  I then talked to Robert at his The
>>Service Pavilion booth, tried on another large Quantum and it felt good, 
>>but
>>he wanted to measure my head and found it to be a medium.  So I tried on a
>>medium Quantum and, while it fit the top of my head, it was way too tight 
>>on
>>my face, in short a cheek muncher.  So Robert switched out the cheek pads,
>>putting in thinner pads until I could close my mouth without pinching the
>>inside of my cheeks.
>>
>>The result, a medium Quantum with fitted cheek pads is the most 
>>comfortable,
>>best fitting helmet I have ever worn.

>>Maybe many of you get your helmets fitted, but from what I've been reading
>>about on-line and mail order purchases, many of you don't.  I highly
>>recommend having whatever brand you buy fitted if possible.  You'll be a 
>>lot
>>more comfortable and probably a bit safer.  Might even find it less noisy
