So I wear a large in the Shoei RF-1000 series. I'm wondering what else ya'll think I'd be able to wear?
Do the other Shoei lines fit similarly?
I have yet to find an Arai that fits my head and no luck with the Scorpions either unfortunately.... (they all try to flatten my forehead to the point that I have an instant headache as soon as I put them on)

Well you want a new helmet to be on the tight side at first because the material will form around your head over time making a better fit.
The latest Scorpion I bought seems to becoming a better fit quicker than it took the last Shoei I bought. Not sure if that means…
Every person head is a different shape, so If I where you I would go try on one of everything you can find. Because my square head maybe not as round as yours.

I know...but I want something more visible than just B&W.... and some of the colors right now would just look downright obnoxious with my green... lol...
C'est la vie... I'm a girl! =)

Yeah...I was just hoping to cut down on what all to try - so I wouldn't have to start at square one all over again. It takes me fooking FOREVER to find a lid that I like! (which I suppose is a good thing...) Just hoping to have a few ideas of what to try on when I get back home. I'll have to be sporting my old KBC until I get a replacement... and I'm none too happy to be back in that old thing! lol

Hey I look at it this way unless the helmet is reflective its not going to make a diff what color it is.

Yup yup... I like that vid actually!
And finding the fit is a good chunk of the reason it takes me so long to find a lid I like.

Arai helmets come in different shapes:

My backup race helmet is an RF-1000 and I wore it for a while after trashing my previous Arai RX-7 at Pueblo last year. It was ok. I recently bought a new Corsair-V and when I put it on, it was like "Ahhhhhhhhhh". I have been wearing Arai helmets since 1984. I really like them.

You should buy a big foam cowboy hat, in green. I hear they are one size fits all and that DOT actually MAKES them!!

I'd just hit up the local shops and try stuff on. I got my lid from www.kneedragges.com and www.newenough.com after I tried on locally. They both have really good prices.... I hear nothing but great things about Aria and Shoe but that's just too damm much $$ for a lid when it's not gonna protect me anymore than most of the cheaper ones. Pluss, my AGV is super comfortable for about $260, and I've worn it on a 1000 mile day ride from SoCal to NoCal pluss multiple 400-600 mile days. Maybe find some local and slip it on...

Hmm… a female who doesn’t want to shop around?
I heard they existed but never thought I would meet one.
