Re: PSA : Cheap Ducati Arai
Those colours would match my 765- luckily they don't have one in my size

Needz Kawasaki instead of Ducati.

Re: PSA : Cheap Ducati Arai
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?

Re: PSA : Cheap Ducati Arai
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

Re: PSA : Cheap Ducati Arai
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.

Re: PSA : Cheap Ducati Arai
Is it removable, if you take it off does it leave holes in the visor?Beancounter wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 4:42 pmIt 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.

Re: PSA : Cheap Ducati Arai
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.

Re: PSA : Cheap Ducati Arai
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.

Re: PSA : Cheap Ducati Arai
I got all excited then remembered that Arai doesn't fit my head anymore
