New Lid

Post by podman »

Always fancied a Simpson lid for tooling about on the LCs, having tried (but not owned) a Bandit many moons ago in the early 90s, I found it too draughty and noisy at high speed, which is fair enough as it wasnt designed for bike use .

Anyway, I decided I wanted one after seeing a few around of recent but I needed to try them for myself, problem is there isnt a wide range of stockists about so I ended up visiting the UK importers (Kick Motorsport) today to try on the three lids I was most interested in, good job I did as 2 of the lids I was a different size(Street and Venom) and one of them crushed me conk a bit too much (M30), so I came away with a Venom which has a nice quality feeling liner, integral visor(I had to get a black one anyway....its the law..) feels light...and its street legal!

They did me a very good price as well.


I plan to still be using the Arai on the Firestorm and for longer trips but I love the look of it....
