I'm gonna reply publicly anyway....
I bought a Synchrotec helmet a year and a half ago after comparing it to the
Nolan N-100. The Nolan was -okay- for me, just felt kind of cheesy compared
to the Shoei. I didn't make it 220 yds from the dealer though before
returning the Shoei - I couldn't open my mouth with it on, couldn't talk,
couldn't smile, laugh, etc.... just wasn't big enough to get over my head
and then do anything without opening the lid up. I traded it for an Arai.
Since then I have seen the new HJC modular helmet, not as nice a finish as
the Shoei but it fit perfect, and I could open my mouth and everything. If
you have problems with the Shoei try out the HJC, it might work for you.
