I have a bad habit of grabbing all my tear offs at the same time. So i was wondering if you guys know of a good auto or manual canister system that would work. Must be compact because i have padded side supports for both sides of my helmet . Thanks

I have never heard anyone say they have found one that works very good at all.

You are getting the tabs folded good so they stick out 90 degrees to the helmet for easy grabbing and pull off?

Just curious if you rotate your tear offs? stacking them pull tab left, then pull tab right, then left then right until you complete your stack.:confused:

Another little tip is to take the tear offs off of the helmet after ever race. I got lazy a few times and left them on. Seems they'd stay folded over and were harder to grab. So when you did finally grab it you ended up with a couple folds, not the pull tab.

I'm folding em all on the right and folding the ends. I don't crease them, i fold them overnatural like. I'm going to check the black knobs on the faceshield to make sure there staying in position. I do have the type of seat (kirkey) with the side helmet gaurds that keep your head in position for side impacts. I wonder if that may be contributing to the problem. My home track gets pretty rutty.

Glad ya like it. I have a TON of ideas I'd love to do with it still, just lack the time (and a bit of motivation at time) lol.

I have a head rest on my seat (I'm pretty sure it's a kirkey), but I ad to put it up a bit higher. Right now I think the bottom is mid ear and higher. When it was down low I kept punching it trying to get a tearoff... kinda hurt after a night of doing it.
