My new AGV k7 is too tight. F9 sells different size cheekpads, with varying thickness. What thickness to choose?
New helmet fit

At $73 for cheekpads, I'm be trying to come up with other options. Step one, pull the cheekpads you have and make sure the helmet fit is ok. Step two, do your old cheekpads fit? How thick are current cheek pads? Can I park the bike on the cheekpads for a bit to get them to relax?
The K7 is the replacement for the AGV tourmodular that i was reimbursed for under warranty. Every lid i have ever owned has been a medium. I'm sure thinner cheekpads is the answer, just don't know which ones. F9 has a very big range of replacements.
Never thought of trying the ones from the now useless tourmodular. Hmmm?

Check the size that's marked on the current ones, measure them to see if that number is accurate, then squish them under a couple of heavy books or a clamp for a couple of hours. Re-measure the squished size, then give them a try before they rebound to see if the squished size is in the right ballpark.
If the plastic backing of the pads has holes, you can also snip away and pull out some of the foam from the back with long narrow scissors. I do this with mine to relieve a sharp pressure point on my ears from the model that I wear.

Hmmm dont AGVs usually come in 2 Medium sizes? Maybe that's model dependent.
This has worked for a helmet brand/model that I didn’t get to pick:
