That's a possibility. I have a size 7 1/2 helmet (HJC calls it Extra Large), so finding one that fits well, breathes well, and has the good ratings is a challenge. When I got mine 2 years ago, I also tried on the Shoei regular full face helmet. The fit was awesome, as was the price (~$400 or so). The HJC fit almost as well, and only cost $130. I could upgrade helmets, and probably will if I keep riding.
Hmm...just thought of a neat sales device: a purpose built wind tunnel. Put the helmet on, put it inside this boxy tunnel thing, start up the propellor in the front, and simulate whatever MPH you want. Maybe find some way to pipe in exhaust noise from underneath, to check the seal around the jaw or neckline. Hmm....
Tools, got any extra plywood at the ToolShack?
