I think the helmet looks fine with your Deuce. Have you considered checking with the manufacturer to see if you can get new cheek pads/liner so it fits your smaller head.

something else. also dont wear a too large helmet. my friend had a driver die form that. this guy was test driving to buy it and was going 5mph because a dog was running to him. the dog hit the front tire and the handle bar grabbed the loose full face helmet and swung it around and snapped his neck.

Yeah, I checked with Shoei and all they make is different cheek pads, and that won't help make the whole helmet smaller.
I have put some foam under the headliner on top of the helmet, as the helmet was now so BIG, that it was dropping down over my eyes.
You would think that the manufactors would make all the same size helmet shell, and use different liners inside to make the different helmet sizes, but they don't.
So, I'm in the market for a new helmet, one that will fit me like it should, snug.
It sucks in a way, as I spent $600 dollars for this Shoei MultiTech modular helmet and it's not only a year old, with hardly any miles on it, and it's now too big for me.
But on the other hand, I'm glad to have lost all my overweight !
Bobby.

Thanks, but all I do is try and do the right thing.

Bobby.

This photo was taken of me on Saturday, August 28th, 2010 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon New Hampshire.



This is a photo of my riding friend with his 103ci. Roadglide. Notice how he rides without any riding gear.
To each their own, but not me.


And these are my other toys.
