Any good helmet is designed to meet SNELL and/or DOT standards. Modifying it will most likely increase the damage to your head in an accident. For your brain’s sake, don’t change the engineering of your helmet. Modifications include the following:
• drilling holes;
• cutting shell, liner, or strap;
• modifying the retention system, including adding a chin cup;
• removing parts, and;
• attaching accessories that are not manufactured for your specific helmet model.
Pretty much anything you can do to your helmet will compromise its integrity. You wear a helmet to protect your brain, so don’t sacrifice that protection by lessening its effectiveness.
If you don’t like your helmet the way it is, get a new one.
