Which helmet colour?

Perhaps you need to turn those sirens down?

I have the Shoei Multitec too, but in matt black.

No issues with the the colour, other than visibility - I've narrowed down my next lid to either the Qwest, XR1000 or Raid II (probably) - I have 4 visors and three pinlocks for the multitec that wouldn't exchange with the Qwest, so that's a factor in getting the next one.

Pete, you may need to adjust the visor locking plates - I get differing levels of noise, depending on which visor I have fitted. The aftermarket one is much noisier, but there's stiff a noticeable difference between my clear and dark smoke. If I'm going out for a while, I usually adjust the plates depending on the visor I have fitted, just keep a 5 pence piece in your pocket. Still quicker than changing a visor on an Arai.

Hmmm,

I adjusted the plates when I was issued the hat, but the noise is coming from the gap behind the plate where the chin-bar leaves a gap. We're grounded at the moment so may have a fiddle with my helmet on Monday.

Mine is matte black- greasy marks do show on it, but i'm shure if you wash and buff your helmet properly, it'll look just fine.

And matte black looks mean as fark!

i've never had a greasy mark on my helmet, just what is it that you lot eat?
