My Lids: Ready For This Year. ( Hopefully Only Metaphorically Speaking! )

Discussion in 'Clothing, Gadgets & Equipment' started by Shoboshi, Feb 4, 2017.

  1. After a long and miserable time off my Mut, or is that nut!, I thought I'd show you my XLites.
    Got my 802RR (Stareus- Italian flag) last October as I wanted the updated model of the helmet that saved me in 2015. For track days, short blasts, days out.... work! etc

    And after much trying of other makes, Arai, Shoei, Schuberth, Shark, HJC etc, I treated myself (again!) to the 551 Adv style, as I am hoping to put some miles in this year and wanted a drop down internal visor and that " he must be off round the world look ", plus something different.

    The best other was the Shoei Gt Air but price was too steep plus the colour scheme I wanted has been discontinued (Regalia)

    All in all, great fit, beautifully made and great price too. Hope you like.

    Well I've shown you mine what about yours.?

    Anything new for this coming season.?

  3. Nice Edwards Rep too..

    Used to love Rx7 models but they changed interior shape a little some time ago and my big ear didn't like it.!
     
  4. Gonna try out a Suomy. Very light, lovely fit. Visor very easy to change

  7. Just bought the xlite 802rr motogp but not worn it yet, Also have the shoei nxr that ive fitted with headphones for when I'm on standby with work, Get sick of stopping every 20mins to check mobile, Fingers crossed I gel with the 802rr, Nxr is a cracking lid, The 802rr imo is the nicest looking lid ive had

  18. I'm the same, far too many and all Arai (apart from one). I'm deperately trying to resist the new Arai TT2017 rep. I only really only wear a plain black RX-7 GP and the rest are on display in my home office.

  19. I tend to bin mine when I'm finished with them, though I still have an Arai RX7GP and the newer Arai RX7V for my Pani and an AGV RP60 for my Scrambler :)
     
  20. Had my Simpson relined under warranty so it had to go back to Texas. They were pretty good about it. They said that when i bought mine they had switched from their usual supplier (how unlucky was that) and mine in the space of a year literally disintegrated internally. Had simpsons all my life (my other one is 20+ years old and is in good working order). They were hesitant until it actually turned up to which they then contacted me to say "yeah...thats knackered....not a problem..." so it kinda feels like a new lid...

    Ironically ive recently deviated from Simpson (first time in 25 years) and bought a Shoei Xspirit 3 in Losail colours...i thought i could do with a decent spare as the Simpson refurb (as good as they were) took 3 months and ive gotta say between the 2 i prefer the simpson...not as noisy - internally its more plush, im used to a big chin guard as its an Indy car helmet so feel more "safe". In the Shoei's defence its still new and ive only worn it a handful of times...if i find a pic ill update in a bit...
