I have a feeling you can retrofit pinlock to any visor, sure I had a visor or lid with the little plastic bits supplied loose, then would be a case of drilling in the right place to suit. Expect some dealers etc would offer it as a serviceQuote:

So it's something else to consider along with size and price and head shape!
I favour Shark helmets good safety rating comfortable (for me) very easy visor change (cleaning)
Personally would'nt even consider matt black - you need to be seen.
Noise - wear ear plugs for all but the shortest journeys

Went to WB today, very glad I did. Excellent place with great service.
Walked in with a budget and walked out with.. Shark S700 helmet (grey), pair of RST Razors (white) and a new textile jacket all for £200. Well chuffed I am :)
So far I've only worn the boots & helmet once and the helmet is very comfortable aswell as the boots even if it feels weird shifting with them on. :)
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. :D
Good news about your purchases Callum :)
I had new boots recently and thought I would really struggle with breaking and gear changes, but I found the longer I rode in them the easier the breaking and gear change to the point I didn't think about it anymore. :)
Don't forget you can adjust the gear lever to suit the boots. Better than adjusting your riding style.Quote:

Good one.
As said above, you may need to agjust your lever, or get used to the difference.
Adjusting the lever uis as easy as:

Mark the shaft and lever with a line to slow original position
Undo and remove the clamp bolt (see picture)
Slide the lever off of the splined shaft
Move round one spline (use your marker as a guide)
Replace the lever and bolt.
Try.
No one should ever buy an Arai without trying to remove and replace the visor.
Shoei swaps over in 30 seconds max.
Arai ... well the air is blue and I'm now on my second cuppa figuring out how to fit the visor without breaking the damned mechanism that you can't see ... http://www.cool-smileys.com/images/2066.gif

Strange? I used to be able to change the visor on my old Arai in less than 10 seconds... :-?Quote:
