That's what I have now. Ok, but I need something more oval shaped.

Anyone got an opinion on a good helmet?
Shoei RF-1100
Arai Profile
Scorpion EXO 400/700
Shark (which model fits a long oval head)?
I've had the Arai Profile(awesome helmet) and Shark RSR2(Amazingly light and really thick visor)

the Arai was made for a long oval head... shark... not so much... it was a tight fit and was hard to get used to at first, but in the end I didn't mind... I loved how "snug" it felt... it just felt more secure... until I wore my Arai one last time before I sold the RR... the Profile just fit my head properly and was MUCH better at venting (even with that big air scoop up top on the Shark) also with the Shark I couldn't wear headphones as easy as the Arai as it didn't have as deep an impression by the ears...

final thoughts...

Arai= awesome street helmet (get a fog city insert that will change with the light and keep the visor from fogging)

Shart= race bread helmet... really light, snug fit, but not for my head shape so takes getting used to... but never as comfortable as the Arai. (but I got it for $250 on clearance so...)

the best?

Shoei Hornet...

How tough was the shield change on the Arai, and what size did you wear Ebbs?
IIRC your helmet fit me rather well...

I don't think the Hornet will be very conducive to my type of riding

Not sure...I dont think I've ever tried on a Shoei.

damn.
DOn't really want to have to return a few to get the right size.
Also means I can't order until I get home, so I don't exceed return time limits.
