It could just be the model of the helmet, not the make. alot of lid manufacturers shel shapes change throughout the range.

there are so many brands to try though...

KBC
OGK
LASER
NOLAN
ARAI
LS2
HJC
NITRO
BELL

The list goes on. Ive had a couple of KBC's and for the money there bang on lids.

They look great and are a testament to your handy work!

I, however do not posess the skills/ patience to do that, it would look a dogs dinner so i may still go down the R1 mirror route!

ride carefull!!!

scotoiler not scraping the chain or summat?

so its a constant noise?

the bike isnt moving in a particular way to set of the noise like leanig to the left going round a bend or going over a speed bump. that sort of thing.

if its constant it cant be too much, bearings, brakes, chain, tyre.

youre axle nut could be a tad loose?

when do you here the noise most?

when the suspension moves?

is the front sproket bolt tight. i had a noise that was driving me nuts on my old exup1000 and it was the nut loose with the sproket moving up and down the drive shaft causing a sawing rubbing sound. is there any lateral play in the chain at the front?

could be brake pads worn down to the metal?

get hold of the wheel and wobble while its on side stand. youll feel it move that for sure.

can you actually get hold of the wheel and wobble it? side to side or anything. could be a colapsed bearing?

sounds daft but have you checke tyre pressures? could be down a fair few PSI that would make it weave and mayby rub on the swingarm. just a thought.

You're quite right mate they're not legal for road use and will be marked as such on the visor. However I (touch wood!) have never been pulled for riding with a dark visor on. I have used Iridium and dark race visors with no ill effects, however if you get pulled for something else then stuff like ...

VFR swingarm on the VTR? it looks great! was it a relativly easy install or a total bugger?

it certainly does!!! un less you go flip front on the scorpions you dont get a great deal more for your cash with the EXO1000 but the shell shape changes so the 750 or 1000 may not fit as well (or fit better). i love stuff thats unusual or different. thats why we have VTR's!!! we could have a blade ...

Personal thing but I really don't like the chrome Z on them, I'd consider one if it didn't have that on it you can take it off! depending on the lide its either a bright chrome or a dark one. on the other hand you can (on the scorpion website) really bling them up with all sorts of bits like anodis...

I was sceptical about the Scorpions as you dont hear a great deal about them over hear but i cant fault it. I has a chin draft skirt thingy too! :lol: The paint is thick and durable as well. But like all these things is all about the fit. get what works for you!! :) the Shark lids , i found, were ve...
