last time my givi simply can fit 2 flip ups no problem.. kappa 42l should be able to fit also.. position the helmet proper. unless yours are very big shell helmets..

 

I've tried many positions but still cannot leh! So I kept my pillion's FF in the top box and lock my FF with a chainlock to my rack, either that, just carry my FF around lor! But alot peeps staring as probably they've never seen a fat uncle carrying a FF b4! Hahahaha...

Hey guys, new phantom rider here..should have read this thread earlier and i would've gotten ff...damn!

 

Anw was wondering how much does a balaclava and a decent waterproof jacket cost and where to get ah?

 

Bro, this may sound ridiculous but my sincere advise is to trade in for FF's asap! We had and accident last week and the doc at SGH A&E said thanks to the FF that had save my wife's pretty face! I later took a look at her FF and really thank God for it!

what size are your helmets? some big shell helmets will have difficulty.. mine was a M nolan flip up and agv S flip up.. but flipup shells are generally bigger.

 

how did you put the helmets?

dang, now im confuse... FF, flip up, oxford bone dry riding boot, some mid cut riding boot or water proof armor jacket :cry:

 

if you are tight on budget, i will suggest getting one item one by one. starting with the head protection 1st.

 

most motorcyclists fatalities is due to injuries or severe trauma to the head.

 

the reason i don trust flip-ups is cos it's not a one whole piece constructed helmet. imo, FF helmets offer the best protection.

yup true... but the reason for my hesitation for the FF is coz i alrdy have 2 helmets and i had a pretty hard time wearing pat's ff once...

 

 

our heads are of different shape, likewise with the shape of the shell with the different brand of helmets... your head might not fit the shape of HJC helmet shell but i think you should try out other brands of helmets.

 

HJC more for round headed people like me i think...

Oh, ours are XXL & L for HJC as we need to get 1 size bigger for this brand.

I've tried Yin-Yang method, both upright, 1 front 1 back, 1 upright 1 side, etc... also cannot. Any other method?

 

Oh, how much does the Nolan flip up cost? Tot of getting a pair if budget permits.

I fully agree with ahcai that you shud get the most important one 1st, which is the FF. Think the last time you din put it on correctly which can be rather painful (virgin mah!) and need a little of getting use too. Maybe you try with a proper balaclava or buff to tuck in your ears for the size at the shop. And if the HJC dun fit comfortably, den go for other brands bro. But in anycase, please get a FF asap! Ride safe bros!

hmm.. XXL and L shells could be a bit too big for your box to 'swallow'.. you try putting 1 upright, 1 lying with the front pointing towards the lock of the box. try both helmets at the different position. all else fails, get a bigger box. :angel:

Yup, I'd tried that too but fail lah. Anyway bo bian but to either lock with bike chain or carry it around. Thanks bro! Cheers!

bro, i noticed you do wear a jacket but it's those normal leather jacket w/o any armour... those wont protect you from impact...

 

i will suggest investing in proper armoured riding jacket...
