The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

I was very much looking forward to buying a Forza after successfully completing rider training this past weekend. It was a huge disappointment to visit the showroom and I could not fit any of the new helmets on display under the seat. I had bought a Bell Mag9 and have a Shoei full face that I got from a friend, neither of which fit. The salesman tried with me and I left after trying 4 models of each brand without success. The sizes I used were XL which I have already. Are we missing something or do you have to have a specific brand or model to fit? Yes amongst the many reasons for a scooter is the ability to store a helmet.

to this we have no response... however youyou would say "I knew Forza was sh%t"

My XL helmets both fit.
One is old and no longer in production, the other is an HJC IS 17

Front section, helmet facing forward, rear section helmet facing towards the exhaust side.

Flip fronts tend be larger and may not fit, also helmets with ducktails can be problematic.

This is the reason I added a GIVI Trunk to the back of my Forza. My XL Nolan N104 will not fit under the seat, but fits fine in the GIVI V46 trunk.

My Z1R Phantom (XL) fits fine in the back of the seat (facing toward the side). Haven't tried the front of the seat (have a rain jacket stuffed in there).

You have to have them positioned as described above, I didn't think mine fit until I read what way round to position the helmet.

Mine fits better at the very front but will fit both areas

I fit two full face helmets under my Forza seat. Both modular, flip up helmets. One is XXXXL size. Yes 4X. Read owners manual for instructions.

I have a Shoei XR-1100 XL and a Givi fullface under my seat.

They are snug but they do fit fine.

Maybe the saddle hinge needs moving a little or something?

Aaah, Fish! Don't feel ashamed...my hubby has a 5x helmet.

I was putting my lid in the front section but the other way round to what's shown in this pic. It fit but actually fits better as shown.

Glad I found this guys site http://www.myhondaforza.com

I'm in a Big Head Club....we all wear Hi Viz Limes.
Joking aside.....my mega motorcycle/scooter dealer where I bought my scooter lost all my future business because they refused to believe that the helmets they were giving me hurt my head. I went back 3 times shopping for a helmet.
I went to another shop, they put a 4X HJC modular on me and it fit perfectly..

Very cute picture!

Thanks for all the responses. I bought a Forza and had it delivered today. The Honda dealer that could not get helmets to fit under set did not get my business as I was able to do very easily at another which knew how to fit them. Clyde at Moteretta here in Toronto is amazing and really knows his product and history of scooters as well - highly recommended if you are in this region.
