Is there an online store that does great deals for showing helmets? I've looked on eBay but they all seem to be much the same price.

Gt air with the built in sun visor

Always been an arai man but fed up with swapping between dark and clear visors. Have you seen arai's version of a built in sun visor? It's the worst Heath Robinson design I've ever seen in my life.

I've sent you a PM.

I've had a GT Air for 2 years now and really like it, as you say swapping between visors is annoying and Arai's solution is terrible. The other option is an NXR with a transitions visor but the visor is 120 quid which is a bit steep!

I just used www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk to buy a Shoei. Excellent service and got loads of free stuff with it too.

J and S at Braintree had quite a good selection and cheap last week when I was there. Nice ride from Cambridge, not sure if they are open today though as its a Bank Holiday.

I just found this.. giving the transitions visor away free!

I'm actually tempted myself, this visor sounds perfect for my year round riding.
I'm currently using the ProTec Tint Pinklock on my XR1100 whilst it does help in bright sun it just doesn't go dark enough.

Why not have a run down to bikestop in stevenage ? I assume you have tried one on ? They are different from the older shoei fit , i went from an xr1000 to an air and it feels a lot more claustrophobic and the fit is tighter .

That seems like a great deal!
