I took a long time at first and found them awkward, I can do them fairly easily now, once you 'get' it, you'll be fine.

+1 easy peasy, and MZ,

When I bought my Arai the girl in Hein Gericke was very patient in ensuring I knew exactly how to do it before i left the shop, so now it's usually me doing mine and Jeff's!!

Sorry about your broken lid

Same here, I've had six or seven of the more recent Arai lids with the clip on/off visors and I've never broken anything when changing a visor.

Verna: If you don't want yours anymore can I have it?

All the Shoei owners: Try changing the visor when you're wearing the lid, then realise the Arai sytem is superior.

Why would I want to change the visor while wearing the lid?

My old Shark helmet was a pain to change the visor, 2 stupid little plastic screws on each side. My roof helmet was almost as bad.

Makes swopping from black to clear very easy without removing your lid. It can be done in seconds and you're on your way again.
