FTP Fit

[johnboy 0]

Has Bonehead changed the shape of the chin cup on the FTP over the years? I got mine second hand about two years ago and it was a few years old then. I just got a new liner for it and the pads for the chin are different than the original. It will fit, but its a serious pain in the butt.

Thoughts anyone?

Edited to say I haven't heat molded the pads yet. I will be doing this shortly and expect it will improve it a bit. There's just a lot more material top and bottom than the old chin pad.

You should be able to take out layers of padding to make the chin cup thinner if it's too bulky. Then baking it and wearing it a lot will then get it to fit well.

I've been playing with the layers of padding and it's better than it was. It's more a function of the pad folding in half when I put it on. More of a nuisance than anything. I haven't baked it yet, but hopefully that will fix it.

Thanks!

Baking it makes a big diff.

How do you "bake" it? New to the sport.

Baking instructions

I hope "new to the sport" doesn't mean you are already jumping camera without the recommended experience. Please read the sticky.
Good luck with the helmet!

Baking definitely made the difference. Thanks all. I should have bought the new liner when I first got the helmet. Cheapskate that I am.... Oh well.
