This day will never end. I can't wait until tomorrow. The dealer has
my new red 04 "killer" prepped and ready for pickup. I so psyched!!!
Does anyone have a suggestion on helmets?
I have a HJC CL-14 street helmet now. It's ok but I was looking for
something a little more "dual purpose". The only "dual purpose"
helmet so far that I've found is a nolan N70 but I can't seem to find
it for sale anywhere. I'm really looking for something that's kind of
a cross between a street helmet and an off-road helmet. Has a
faceshield and a sun visor both, like the N70.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

The only true DS helmet out there is the Arai XD (nee Tourcross), but at
$400+ it's way too expensive for me to consider banging up offroad. My
solution is far from ideal, but I have a cheap $80 Fulmer DOT/SNELL MX
helmet that I bring with me when I expect to be doing a whole lot of
offroad. This of course, really only works when you're camping and can
dump your street gear at the campsite.
One idea I had for making a street helmet bearable off road was to get
some black vinyl cling film (dunno what it's really called) cut to fit
the faceshield on my street helmet. When I get offroad, I'd apply the
black film to the faceshield, flip it up, and voila, instant visor. Pull
your googles out of your bag and you're good to go. I haven't tried
this, but I don't see why it wouldn't work (other than the "visor" being
too short perhaps).
Else if, pick up a piece of cardboard off the side of the road and duct
tape it to your helmet.

Let me ask one more question.....What kind of helmets do all of you
wear when riding your KiLleR?

Arai Quantum or Astral on the street. Nolan N100 or Jarow Mono X2 in
the dirt or on dual-sport tours.

Good morning.
Congratulations on your new moto. I like my Jarrow helmet. It converts
to an off-road or can be used a s a full-face. I especially like the
fact that I don't have to remove my glasses when I take it off. Check
out
http://www.rvmc.com Gino has pictures of the helmet.

Congrats on your new '04. I got my '03 in May and have
been having a blast ever since. I REALLY want the Arai
TOurcross as well, but it is quite spendy. Found this
site
www.bbbikeshop.co.uk/acatalog/Browse___ ... r_926.html
The helmet listed is no doubt an Arai knockoff, but it
might do the trick in a pinch.
Happy Riding!

Most of the full-face helmets I've had won't fit goggles inside them, or if they do the goggles are in the wrong position, making it hard to breathe through your nose.
