Run to the local mall or clothing store and find a manican with a big head and thump that sum bitch and steal its head.

You could always use the old baseball glove method. You could put your helmet on, put a fat rubberband around it, and then drive over your head with the car...I'm sorry man, I had to. No but really, with the weather warming up, I'm sure you'll have it formed to your head in no time. At the beginning it should feel pretty snug, since as you break it in, it will get looser. The more room your dome has to move around, the less protection you have.
