Can anyone help? Arai parts/dark visor for S500 Shark

I would be grateful if anyone has and would be willing to lend me either of these bits;

A basepate for an RX7 Hayden Leguna Sec as my has snap into bits, after my encounter. (this holds the sidepods, thus the visor on)

Or a dark visor for Shark S500, would be great.

Its only until the bits temp bits turn up at the store, but I can't wear my arai right now, the Shark isn't a good lid compared; no where near as comfy, or secure but it does.

if by base plate you mean the white bit screwed to the helmet under the side pod, then I've probably got a spare or two, ot off an RX7, but I think they are the same, post a pic and I'll see what I can do.

Cheers Mark.

Chris, for dark tint visors I recommend these guys - http://www.ridersoffshore.com/ It's a small business based in Guernsey.

I got mine from there, it was sent within a couple of days, and they actually answer the phone if you have any questions

Gaffer tape the side pod back on, usually works for me

Which side pod has snapped (by snapped I'm assuming that the little plastic clip has pinged off), left or right?

Its the actual bits of platisc that has snapped, this is the bit that the side pod clips into. Its held onto the lid via, two plastic screws. I have glued it twice with evo stick, but the stress on the broke bit when its glued is too much and it snaps again. This is on the right hand side.

I have taken a photo, its just getting the mobile to talk to the computer now, they don't like each other much!

Here are the photos;

Ahem, and me. On several separate occasions.

I think I should organise an Arai visor changing lesson, with a guy from Arai...just for you folks who seem to get it wrong all the time

Chris, you need new base plates, but be aware there are two types - the old short level ones, and the newer long lever ones.

Or, just watch John do his stuff - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YTHFTwwark

I've got one of these I'll throw it in the tank bag, grab me at some point if you want it.

Thanks Mark, hopefully Friday. Yes I know Jo its broken; but HG called Phoinex middle of September for new base plate, and side pods Though they think they may have found a spare I can have if and when that gets here. Why so long to get Arai parts?
