Big ear rings (gauges) & helmets

Recommended Posts

So i am wondering if anyone has gauges. If so do you have any idea's to make it easier to wear a helmet . I have 1 inch holes in my ears and everytime i have ridden i have to be real careful or take them out all together to get the helmet on and off

you will have to take them out most likely, my friend was wanting to learn how to ride, i gave him my helmet and taught him on my dirtbike, and he wasnt able to, his are 1 3/4 (i think, either that or 1 1/2)

edit: thought you were asking if you would have to, you might be able to cut some of the padding away

just makin sure you know it has to be pretty snug :cheers: go up to shipps and try some shoeis on, and if your a medium i have an arai you can try on, all the other helmets at shipps suck, kbc, hjc, and zr something, and the knockoff brands

i hate the exo 1000 with a passion, its super heavy, the extra visor is useless because its barely tinted, and it only comes down half way, the bottom is in your line of vision, but in your case, the little pump in there might come in handy

I have 00ga ear plugs and have no problems whatsoever with full face helmets. I have worn steel double flare tunnels and silicone tunnels both with no problems. The only difficulty I have found is with the hard tunnels/plugs you can snag them and pull them out much like when removing a t-shirt with a tight neck. Silicone seems to work very well with the full face helmets. Only had it snag once and it was easy to feel it happen, but not painful. (read: didn't hurt, didn't loose the tunnel)

Other than that, no worries. Right now I am sporting 00 silicone tunnels and a pair of 10ga captive ball rings through those and I have been riding several days with this combination. My girlfriend rides with 0ga glass plugs in, several other standard size (18ga) earrings, and wears an expensive helmet, HJC maybe?? I wear a Sparx, both are nice and snug fitting and neither of us has problems. (neither of us is at an inch either though...)

Where the hell is Hoblick on this one.... He has gauges AND a lip ring... I was wondering if that gets in the way. Ryan!?!?!?!
