Materials Needed: Big/Small Foam helmet pads
Velcro Dots
Super glue

I recently bought a new bike helmet and it came with 6 extra pads. It made me think of this easy way to mod my SR-60's headband.

First of all, heres a before picture

(There were 4 long pads and 2 short pads) So, i took 2 long pads and applied super glue between them and waited 30 mins for them to dry.

After drying, I stuck on 5 velcro dots. (I recommend putting the pointy side on the pad so that you can take the pad off if you don't want it and you wont get poked.

I also applied two small pads with velcro dots

As you can see, It almost looks good. Im sure if you could rap it with leather it would look outstanding.

Here is a closeup of what you are missing out on if you dont do this mod!

image issue fixed...

Velcro makes the pads fully interchangable between my sr-60 and my k-81dj

bump- Feedback would be great!

Too...tacky? I would rather invest more and buy a Beyer band, and it is still interchangable. When I get my Beyer band, I would just use some velcro or ripties to attach it onto the K81s, but it will fit just right on the D2Ks...soon.

it's free and about 5x more comfortable than a quiet comfort 2 headband So i guess that makes up for the "tackiness"

Looks very comfortable. Sounds like a good solution to me... given that you're not going to win any fashion contests wearing Grado's to begin with.

So that's been stopping me from winning them!

Agreed.

atleast these can protect me from major head trauma... I dont see beyers doin that!

 

[brotherlen]

Is that from a Pro-Tec helmet?

i dont know, my local hospital had a helmet fitting and i got it for 5 bucks including the extra foam. Im guessing they are all similar
