I've just looked at the last page what Nolan are you on about?

Nolan make the X-Lite in Italy. It is their "Halo" range.

Another Bikeshow purchase: brand new Shoei NXR Beaufighter.

Here on another bloke's head

Nice lid. Out of intetest what did you pay. I picked up a NXR Dunlop with dark visor thrown in for £385.

Thought that was a great deal tbh.

£340 with clear visor and pinlock insert (negotiated on top at the end of the day )

Thats fair enough it was £360 without dark visor and the dunlop carriea a premium being a rep lid like the Shakey and Marquez Ant. Id say that was a faor deal.

HJC is17 bought from bike show for total bargain at £135.

5 star sharp rating, pinlock visor and insert, sliding sunvisor removable liner double d ring and most importantly it fits real well. I just have a hjc shaped head. Everything I need in a helmet.

Tested the Arai out today! Brilliant lid..... looks great and feels great. Not much wind noise either

[clen666]

^^^^ I like that Arai a lot

[obscene]

Can finally get in on this. Popped up on ebay for a price I couldn't refuse.

Like that lots!

Though there's something odd about having it in camouflage colours, but with a big fluorescent bit on the front!

That's the rebel ain't it - made for naked bikes according to the Arai blurb. Does that chin attachment help with the wind buffeting? Might have to look at one of these instead of a Chaser V as my next helmet seeing as I won't be on a sports bike anytime soon.

Haha It's strange how the fluorescent strip goes well with the camo theme! It's surprising how much that chin attachment does! It takes a bit of wind off the neck area which I can imagine is quite handy if you ride a naked..... I ride a K6 gsxr so can't comment too much.
The helmet in general is extremely comfortable and there's notice wind noise..... Also looks the dogs bks with a smoked visor

OK, thread dredge I know... but just to ask the question (as I thought the same initially), you *have* removed the protective film from the sun visor? I rode with the helmet the first time and thought, this is dreadful, but then pulled the film off and it's just fine

My new Shoei GT Air (well, it was about 2 months ago but still not yet worn in anger) crap i-phone pic too

Almost the perfect helmet unless you're a spectacle wearer. My glasses mist up really badly inside mine although removing the chin curtain helps a bit.

Here's a picture of a guinea pig wearing my Shoei Hornet.
