Default Tip! cheek pads were too tight

I took them out and put two shop manuals on top of them and left them for three days. All good no more discomfort and a good fit now

Somehow I had a different thought of cheek pads.

I'm not sure it's quite right yet. I would like to squeeze those cheeks a little bit more

Default Any tips for the ear headphones?

Bought a new "Harley" branded open face (3/4) helmet but when i fitted the headphones that come with the Ultra Limited, anything more than about 5 mins gets the ears rather hurty.
I've fallen back to my old helmet, so any ideas would be received gratefully

Perhaps following the advise of Salmo pass would work?

"I put two shop manuals on top of them and left them for three days."

You'll need a 3 day weekend and will have to remain in a prone position while the manuals compress your ears!
