Is there a time limit on when the old standard helmets can be sold or do they stop being accepted on track?
Shouldn't stop being accepted on track, possible a few TDO might but I doubt it. Can't imagine everyone is going to rush out for a new helmet just because the standard have changed, so the organisers of track days could lose quite a lot of business of they suddenly became strict on the issue.

I believe 22:05 can still be produced up to July 2023, and sold up to January 2024.

Goddamit they have a set of Rizoma levers for my bike at half price. How hard a job for a DIY to swap levers, is it just bolt off/on? Any interfering with brake reservoirs etc?

About as simple a job as you can get.
Only thing you need to take care of is not damaging or bending any of the micro switches when fitting them.

And make sure you torque the pivot bolt to spec as well, you really don't want a lever pin going wandering.

The date for end of production of ECE22.05 helmets is set as July 2023, but the legislation to ban the sale of 22.05 helmets after a certain date has been scrapped and they will be allowed to be sold from dealers and distributors indefinitely, so I'm afraid there won't be any major sell-off of old helmet stocks, they will just gradually drop away out of the market.

Sorry, but i thought if anyone was holding off, hoping for a mega bargain, then they ought to know sooner rather than later.

While I appreciate hot weather gear is probably very far from your UK minds, here in Aus I’ve got one of these and it’s absolutely brilliant. For 30 quid?!?! I’d be getting one for summer if I were you, 10/10.

Snagged a AGV SportsModular for £290.

When I'm over the plague I have at the moment I'll see how it fits. I thought ht e box was empty, it weighs about as much as a fart.

I had to send it back as it was hurting round the jaw after 20mins. Shame, as it was a cracking helmet.
