Hi All

I got my new lid month ago and have meen riding it in so to speak.  it fits snuggly and my head is happy in it.  no pressure points. 

what has been happening lately - after about 1 hours ride in wind or dirt my ears become so painfull i can hardly take the lid off.  Thought it was the earplugs, changed them to softer ones, better, but now it takes 1h20 minutes. 

if i take it off and turn my head from side to side it pains (ok i am a softie).  one mate suggested that a new lid takes a while to ride in, but its more than a month and the ride becomes unpleasant.  you just want to get home, and this is not why i ride. 

i read on one of the posts to take a spoon an message the inside a bit on the pressue points, but if i do it more, than my head will be agains the outer shell.....
it seem to get worse after the initial stiffness of the padding got worn out. 

i do have bakore..... ;D

any advise other than getting a new lid welcome...
