I was thinking of buying one of those stupid watermelon half helmets and cutting out the center to be able to lower the helmet that 1 1/2 in, what do you all think about this thought?

 

Great idea, let us know how it turns out.

 

My brother has a Daytona half helmet in small.
It doesn't fit me, but the next size up uses the larger shell.
I actually thought about getting the small and shaving the foam down also.
As long as you don't take too much out...otherwise you have just made a novelty helmet!

 

Helmets should NEVER be modified! If you can't find an acceptable DOT approved helmet get a hat from the novelty isle.

 

wow... well i modded mine... re did the insides of both of them... fit perfect. looks like i broke the never modifying a helmet rule... dang!

&nbsp\\;i know a guy who did that it looks really cool.......... But i hope he never lands on his head. Kind of beetle baily looking just stick your bangs out!

 

A little bit of shaping shouldn't hurt.&nbsp\\; Not everyone's head is shaped the same so it may be necessary.
My brother is a Bert and I'm an Ernie!

Thats not what im trying to achieve

 

You may as well get a novelty helmet, the padding is in there for more than just comfort. It is also for absorbing impact.

 

Ya but the nov des Not have the dot under the clearcoat!
