Hey everyone,

Recently brought a new lid and im kind of new to this so i dont know how its meant to look, or even if it fits me right. Worried about gaps at the side between my head and helmet. :?

If i post a picture would you be able to give me any guidance??

Thanks :D
Lewis.

    It would have come with instructions of how to fit it, there are several points of adjustment.

    The helmet itself feels tight and secure. It's just the look. It looks a gap between the helmet and my head.
    It's a bell super 2014 model. Not sure if these are just generally big? ?

    It's not unusual for the shell not to fit flush to your skull, the stand off helps protect in an impact

    The helmet just looks way too big for my head.

    Looks OK to me the side padding is quite close, as long as it's not moving around on your noggin and is comfortable, it fits.
