I'm thinking of doing this adventure. Getting my bike right (F6B Goldwing). One thing though, my helmet starts to kill my head after a couple of hours. I have two helmets. I have a Shoei RF1200 Large. I wore it for a couple of years and it felt too small (Large) so one year ago I ordered the Shoei NeoTec Modular Helmet (XL). Awesome helmet in ever aspect. But after about an hour or so I'll start to get a hot spot on the top front portion of my head just above my forehead.

Obviously the bike has to be right and so does your equipment. Especially if you're going to do something like the SS-1000.

Any suggestions? Obviously, I can't keep going out and buying $400-$600 helmets just hoping one doesn't hurt my head after 2 hours of riding.

Thanks in advance!
