They say the life of a helmet is about 5 years, after that replace it.

Depends on the helmet if it has detachable inner liners and so on. I would imagine by the time someone custom made new inner panels that have to be correct fitting and so on you would be better buying a new lid. What kind of helmet we talking about.

You might want to think about the fact that if it is that old the outer shell has probably degraded becaues of UV exposure to the point of not being able to do it's job properly! Unless you just see it's function as a rain hat.

Remove everything inside it, place it on your head and squirt Selleys Space Invader into the gap. Perfect fit every time. Might pay to put some gladwrap over your hair first and cover your eyes.

FM wasnt a particulary expensive brand from memory! There are many excellent well priced helmets now that will be lighter and all round better. You only got head so protect it as best you can. Shark, are a reputable brand and make helmets for all price groups.If you pay under $100 for a new helmet (full face) DONT. And most have removable and replaceable liners etc. These parts well providing comfort and support are also part of the crash structure of a helmet.

Ha. and as the saying goes. If you've got a $10 head, get a $10 helmet.

HJC do a good range of helmets which are very similar to Shoei in the way they fit. Try different brands, as everyone's head has a different shape, and some brands fit some people perfectly, but other brands are tight in all the wrong places.

Totally agree.At that age, you can never tell if it has been dropped either. Biff it.
