Helmet "lift" at high way speeds?

[Dean_Fuller]

Full face helmet. If fits well. I can tilt my head down some and the lift stops but I don't want to ride in that position for long.  Was wondering if others have this issue. I would guess its a riding position / wind shield issue.  Would a windshield "lip" help? I don't get the "lift" riding my Ducati Multistrada ( a much bigger shield ) or my Ducati 916 ( much different riding position ). Ready to try something to rectify this soon.

 

Thanks for your input.

I've gone for the MRA screen which I fit for long trips, it's an improvement but not so good to look at

When that happened to me it was because my helmet was getting old and the foam had relaxed.  New cheek pads solved the problem.

I think if your helmet is lifting then it does not fit properly. I had the same issue with my last helmet (agv) after about 18 months of use. New helmet, new manufacturer, problem solved.

I'm assuming you have the same problem that I had with my 2001 V11S, but I have a BMW fairing on mine. At highway speeds, the wind gets right under your helmet, and it feels like it wants to rip your head off? I added a Laminar Lip to mine (not sure if they make one for your bike), and it made things much better. I have a few different helmets (one of them almost too tight), and had the same issues before adding the LL.

Hope this helps,
