Those colours would match my 765- luckily they don't have one in my size

The reflective / asymmetric bit is somewhat weird

Needz Kawasaki instead of Ducati.

It's a bargain, available in large (like my head) but would I look weird riding a Yamaha in it, and what's the sun visor thing?

IT's a sun visor

HTHs

I'm seriously tempted to get it as a spare for trackdays, I've got the same helmet in a normal paint scheme.

Just need to check the one I've got is a large, then it'll get bought, though I'm sure no one here is going to believe my head might be a medium

It looks gash but works quite well. the only practical downside that I've found is in really hot weather town/city riding - I like to keep my visor up as much as possible so that I get some air flow but you then can't use the sun shade. On the flip side, in Winter, no risk of the sun shade misting up which is what happens with my internal sun visor on my Shoei GT Air.

Is it removable, if you take it off does it leave holes in the visor?

Post by **Wossname** » Fri Dec 11, 2020 4:57 pm

No holes, it just unclips from the main visor. You have to be careful to push the sunshield back in firmly when you're not using it, otherwise it can flip down when you do a shoulder check - not ideal if you're cracking on and it's dark. And it's not easy to pull it forward to lower it when you're wearing thicker gloves - hard to get your fingertips between it and the visor.

Thanks, looks like I'll be making a purchase when I get home tonight, I'm sure I can find something to stick over the Ducati logos, or maybe I should buy a Hypermotard to go with it.
