Helmet Modification

[The engineer]

Just wanna share an experience with all those bikers out there.

 

Rather than buy a new helmet after a while , changing of the inner cushion will help you save money at the same time.

Just got mine done at Eugene Saddlery , must really say his helmet cushion job is really fantastic.

 

I opted for the ultra thick lining for my old Mfizz Evo 2 helmet , its definitely way better than the original lining , just ask Eugene to use the most comfortable cushion he has.

 

I also got him to remove the existing chin strap and make me one new one- with an integrated clip and new D-rings.

 

Thumbs up for him

Helmet not advisable to use more than 3 years,i did modification on my arai FF,end result not satisfied,instead bought a brand new helmet,

his work is really solid though , will be posting some pics soon

But before I forget , I don't know what will happen if the TP sees you riding without the D-rings attatched , mine just has the clip attatched.

From riding experience , the rings will be quite irritating since you don't make use if it once the strap is installed !

i have a bad experience with the modification,3 weeks was given,

hence the job not accomplish.rushing at last moment as helmet needed

for long distance touring,job quality was bad probably due to rushing,

not comfortable as original,end up have to use my gf helmet for touring,

should retain the helmet with original condition,regret..

To start this project off , I began with my LAB helmet , which in my opinion has one of the best inner lining for budget helmets and it only cost $25

I found the chin strap too long , far too long and too time consuming to thread it through the D-rings everytime I ride. The clip attatched was the best alternative solution.

And finally the complete product. I'm not too sure what TPs will say if they ever saw a helmet without the D-rings but so far I haven't been caught yet

Next up: Mfizz Evo 2- the helmet is okay with the fiberglass construction shell , just that I found the inner cushion too uncomfortable. For this project , I asked Eugene to to re-modify the existing strap. He had to remove the rivets on the side of the helmet and re-stitch a brand new strap for me too.

The brand new strap with skinny D-rings. Custom strap pads in vinyl

The inner padding was extremely comfortable , its comparable to that of an Arai or Shoei-comfort wise , was really happy with Eugene's work , its really good

thanks

[The engineer]

For the Mfizz or LAB helmet the original cushion is non-removable , as in you can't remove the cushion ; wash it and re fit it back into the helmet. For the cushion done at Eugene's place , you can change it as an when you want to , hope that helps !
