    Helmet City £499, a big saving. I don't like the current Shoei colour schemes.

    I could not find a gold one anywhere. Plus a gold helmet would probably look uncool!

    MM93 had a gold Shoei.
    Another pic will be required when you've fitted the black visor.
    You have to remove the side pods with this model of Arai to change the visor. I'd only just got used to changing the old Arai visor.

    You’re supposed to use the visor buttons to pop the side pods off. I read the instructions.

    Done that. Getting those side thing off is easy. Putting them back on was difficult the first time.

    I have put the plastic insert in. But it seem slightly misty. Should I remove it and reclean the visor and plastic insert again?
    My Shoei one is much clearer. It might have been finger print type stuff on the visa.
    What do you clean it with? Thanks. The Great Guy.

    I'm not sure the pin lock visor is cleanable.
