Help needed sourcing new lid

[m3psm]

I’ve decided it’s time to replace my trusty Arai RX-7RR with an Arai GP5X but can’t find one.

I’m after a white one, size M (57-58) but they were discontinued this year and nobody seems to have one my size in white, even if they still have them listed on their website.

The second choice is the blue/silver which I haven’t tried searching yet.

I can only find black or black/silver so far. I like the black silver but definitely prefer white (with a black visor of course).

Anyway, the point of the post; if any of knows anyone that has a white one, could you let me know please? If not white, I’d be interested in a blue/silver one too. I suspect a few Arai selling shops have them kicking around, so keep your eye open if you go in your local bike shop.

Cheers

So you know what it looks like, here it is in its various guises.

Sorted

Managed to find a black indy for £240 inc delivery from oop norf. That's £110 cheaper than I managed to find one down here.

Just got to order a black visor now and I'm all sorted for another 5 years

Just bought an Arai Viper GT, and it's the dogs bks.

www.racevisors.co.uk - £35, pinlock ready, free visor bag, free delivery.

I like the Viper Banda. That was my next lid choice if I couldn't find a GP5.

Just ordered the visor from the link Cheers.

They don't do pinlock for the GP5 but the visor has an anti-mist lock apparently.

You can buy a pinlock kit anyhow mate to retrofit, you just drill the visor with the template, and push the pins in.

I quite liked the Banda, but I've got a solid pearl black one and it looks the utter business, was also £70 cheaper. I really wanted a Sinister or a Chaser Spike Blue but I'm gonna gradually cycle pure black into my kit, stealth style

I'll have a look at that when winter approaches (in a few weeks). I didn't realise that you could fit to any visor.

I'm going the other way on lid colours. I've always had plain lids so I could get a custom airbrush job done. After 20 years though and still no paint job I decided it was time to introduce a pattern

The quote for my paint job was £4-500 which is more than the best Arai. I did it on my car racing lid just to have it once, but too much money to repeat.
