going to pickup my new 04 klr650 tomorrow!!

Post by motorbiker65 » Fri Oct 10, 2003 9:19 am

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. Z

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. __Arden

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. george Escondido, CA motorbiker65 wrote:

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.
