I'm no Jay Leno, but my chin gets pretty cozy to the point of scraping with the front of my Arai Signet over 55 mph. I love the quality and silence of the helmet over my HJC, but the fit is funny. Any other Arai helmet's out there that are longer front to back?

Your helmet is too big. I got an arai. I have found that when buying a helmet, you want the size that almost hurts to put on in the store. This will stop the helmet from pushing or sliding back on your face at high speeds.
Dont worry though unlike most helmets out there Arai sells replacement cheek pads in many diff. milli meter sizes. Go down to your dealer and buy thicker cheek pads. This will stop your problem my friend

Once again, solid advice from this board. My local dealerships just tell me that I need to buy a different helmet

Thanks for the info.
Them assholes, they are just trying to get your $$$. Go in there and ask them again if you need a new helmet. When they say yes make them look stupid as hell by mentioning the cheek pads
