    Tips and Tricks....

    Not the magazine, haha. (if anyone remembers that magazine)

    I've run into a fitment issue with my helmet, so along the way I'll post up my work arounds on how I am resolving my issues. My cheek plates hit my cheek bones so I had upscaled the entire helmet by 3%. So far it's ok, but I might shallow out the cheek plate section.

    Any new tips for dealing with a crack from one of the corners of the visor? I bought a used ASOK CC with the visor cut out, and it had a crack in it. I've seen people file it out and deepen it, then back-fill it with epoxy or plastic bond.
