You'll have that doen in a jiffy.
Bike looks very clean, I recenly had a punt on Mr 996SPSs VFR750 and was really impressed with it, such an easy bike to use and throw around, despite on paper being fairly hefty..sounded fab and went well enough too.
As it was it was pretty lumpy and missy until revving more, so I can't want to get it running right; it sounds glorious when on song.Bike looks very clean, I recenly had a punt on Mr 996SPSs VFR750 and was really impressed with it, such an easy bike to use and throw around, despite on paper being fairly hefty..sounded fab and went well enough too.
Done 14000km and stored for 10 years or so in a dry garage, hence the manky carbs! It's like working on a new bike though, no corroded bolts etc.

On my Shoei lid some of the padding can be removed but not all the lining.
Which is why I use balaclavas. All the sweat and drool goes into the balaclava which gets flung in the wash at the end of a ride. Also the fear I have with the above method is that the impact liner will become saturated and damaged.
Helmets are designed to be used in the wet but not submerged or jets of water forced in. Yes helmets don't carry an ip rating but I would air caution to the above method.
That's just me however.
I'm that hard I have to sleep with an electric blanket on.
but if the guy from Arai says that's fine then my fears are obviously unfounded.

Got the full-res photos through from an August trip to the ring
I've been twice this year on my S1000RR, how did you find it? any idea what times you were doing?
Didn't manage to get many laps in as was raining most of the time, planning on getting out there a few more times next year to work on reducing times
