Hi everyone, newbie rider just joining KR so decided to start by an introduction/ asking for some tips and advice. Got a used 1991 600 Kat which is all fixed up and simply waiting on the weather to get better to ride lol. As for gear, I have the gloves and jacket so far, but having issues with helmet (where i hoped I can get some advice from here).
Was looking for a helmet around $200-$300 price range and picked up an AGV K4 but after wearing a couple of times it hurt the side of my temple at exactly 1 hr. Took it back and the guy who suggested swapping it out for a Shoei RF 1100 (as they are on closeout thus cheap). I researched it the Shoei but it seems it is made for similar head types as the AGV k4. So, I'm guessing I have a neutral/ slightly round head? hence any advice from anyone about which helmet or if I'm doing something wrong would be helpful. Also any newbie tips are welcome.
Excited to be here and can't wait for snow to clear so I can start riding! Thanks!
