I've bought myself an Arai Quantum F helmet, unfortunately it has arrived sans an instruction booklet. Does anyone know how you are supposed to remove the visor from the helmet? I've taken a look at the Arai site that gives general instructions on removing the visor, but the instructions don't specify the particular type/model of helmet they are referring to, and following said instructions fails to allow removal of the visor. -- Lesley CBR600FW SBS#11 (with oak-leaf cluster) BOTAFOT#101A UKRMHRC#12 BONY#54P BOB#18 Real burds don't take hormones, they rage naturally
SP says... All Arai visors remove in the same manner, you just have to be a little brutal with the pulling them out, but you won't break anything, trust me on this.
Open the visor fully. Two little tabs will pop out. Lift the tabs up at the same time pull the visor up. The tabs will pop off from time to time and the side pods will also pop off.
Well, most certainly this little lass is interested ) Let me know what you want for it and we'll sort something out. -- Lesley CBR600FW SBS#11 (with oak-leaf cluster) BOTAFOT#101A UKRMHRC#12 BONY#54P BOB#18 Real burds don't take hormones, they rage naturally
Oh, ok. <Fingers crossed> -- Lesley CBR600FW SBS#11 (with oak-leaf cluster) BOTAFOT#101A UKRMHRC#12 BONY#54P BOB#18 Real burds don't take hormones, they rage naturally
Heh, I recently bought a new Arai Astro to replace my old Shoei. The Shoei visor system is *so* much better, IMO. And the Arai side pod things make the lid a lot noisier, I never used to bother about earplugs, but on an Arai its a must.
Just "over-open" it. It'll sound like it's breaking, but it ain't. -- Paul. CBR1100XX SuperBlackbird BOTAFOT #4 BOTAFOF #30 MRO #24
Isn't that the definition of a Porsche 911? My last Arai, a Freddy Spencer replica from 1986, was an excellent design well built, but I guess 300 quid was a lot of money then.
Shoei on the other hand are good design at least in the visor clip area. And the build quality is good.
Eiron says... A 1996 Freddy Spencer rep Arai would still be classed as well made, even when compared to some of the current 300 quid offerings.
The Doctor has still got a Kenny Robert (snr) rep Shoei, dating from about 1985. Feridax were the UK importers then. Still are, I think. Prototype for the UK, so no ACU etc stickers. Lovely lid, but Gawd knows where you'd find a visor these days.
