get a longer neck.

I had the same problem with Urge Down-o-matic and my Leatt. I'd read, and been told that they were compatible. I'm sure they are, if your neck is giraffe-like.

Really can't know for sure without trying 'em out.

I got a D3. No more issue. That little chamfer on the back seemed to really make the difference for me.

Get a hacksaw and cut part of your helmet off in the back. It can't be that important.

Did you flip the nuts around in the back? That should make a noticeable difference.

I called Leatt asking for a solution and they told me to buy the "downhill bike" kit for it. I don't remember what I did, but before I had the same issue. I took apart the back of my leatt brace and there was a screw or plastic slide of something you could remove. It brought down the back about 1/2" and frankly I am too lazy to find my allen keys and take it apart. I called back Leatt and the rep reluctantly told me that it was safe, so I didn't need to buy the separate kit. WIN! There is a screw you can take out I think and the plastic piece will slide all the way down, this was a year and a half ago, so I don't remember exactly what I did.

You flipped the nuts. The nuts sit in a plastic holder with a nub that slides up and down inside of the notch. This nub is there so the nuts don't spin around when you tighten the rear helmet catch plate thing.

Normally this nub is on the bottom of the slide, but if you remove the nuts and flip them around so they are on the top of the slide, you will get that extra 1/2" or so of travel. That makes a difference

Ah. Well, RTFM works too.
