Try some Advil? 
Intermed oval? Not fully round n not too elongated
Lol already there but its a little bit different in the pain deptTry some Advil?
wouldnt that cause a lot of buffeting? even without moving if i was to have the helmet and shake my head it moves a lot from side to side?
it's just a test - you don't shake your head when you ride.
The helmet is not dependent on cheek pads. It's the fit around the forehead you are concerned with here to lose the headache.
My Mag 8 is breaking in nicely- been wearing the balaclava off and on and it gets more comfortable each ride.
I'm no fan of full face at the best of times so I'm not one to think much of extensive cheek pads.
To break in a helmet I wear it for hours even around the house - with the tunes playing on the Ultimate Ears it's a nice quiet concert hall.

Hi Macdoc!
Thanks for all the advice... I was a bit leery to try the no cheekpads thing so I ended up contacting Kahuna (even after 2 months) explained the whole situation of the poor fit...and they were (surprisingly) accommodating! I got the same helmet but a size bigger and it seems to fit quite well!
Any advice on breaking it in? I know you said wear it around the house but would that do the job? or ride around for brief spurts again?

I had the same problem with my helmet however after a couple weeks the issue went away. You just need to break in your helmet.
