Exactly what I ran into. I wanted a rf1000 caster but it didnt fit. My x11 kagayama is perfect. And the best I found brand new was about $495 which the rep on the old twf said was around cost.

I have the RF1000 and find it a bit loose and VERY noisy.

The x11 is kind of loud too, but the venting is damn good. Its a trade off in my eyes.

That's always been the case.

Is it too big?

Mine fits well, but is a bit loud. that's why I wear earplugs.

RF1000 & earplug wearer here, too. I have a huge melon, the RF is about all I could find that fit me right. With the right earplugs, it's almost as quiet as being in my cage.

You know what? I have never worn earplugs at the track or on the street. Never.
