I fancy a new lid.... Not really into replicas usually but I really like this one. What ya think? Anyone got one and know how it compares to arai's? As I have the chaser v at the moment but fancy trying something new! 11 is my number too
I ve the Spies Rep (Black and white one) its a snug fit but a bit louder than by old Arai RX7 GP this is due to vents being open directly and they does a good job of keeping your bounce cool but can let a bit of rain in too ! plus far easier to change visors unlike the Arai !! ......... I guess its all about decent fit and this suits me far better than the Arai..... A good overall lid id say....
looks nice but with all the back luck ben had had over the last year i wouldnt want to wear anything associated with him
Does the HJC range of lids fit you Jimbo? It's not been the first time I have picked a lid up coz i thought a like that design to find out a canny even get it on ma noggin!
AGV is the worst lid range for me in that case, Im normally a M57/58 lid but there too narrow and no matter the shell size i pick up still canny get it over my baw heed! HJC I can get on but its either has to much room n head can shake about inside, or I can get it on but it squishes ma head! That's really why I would suggest trying on models you are thinking about buying.
Few years back my x gave me £600 to get an aria ..... But could I get it to fit ? No chance, so I bought 2 shoei's instead !
Yeah man, I will def try one on before I get one, as like you say, each brand can be quite marmite for each person... But do like it must admit...
Jimbo the correct term your looking for is "prostitute"! Everyone's gotta earn some extra cash if they can. Hope you didn't have to work too hard for the £600 Andy.
I prefer gigilo.... And for £600 quid, I'd put in a good shift Good work if you can get it.... Fair play to Andy ha ha
i have that lid but different colour and do 200 miles a week with no bother,i had an arai viper before that which compared to the hjc found really heavy also think the vents are a lot better than the arai, might just be with me but a also found that at higher speeds the hjc didnt move around as much as the arai (just my 2 bobs worth)
I used to buy Arai, but found the HJCs to be the same fit, much better value, more features etc... Must have had 6 or 7 now, maybe more: they are so cheap compared to the Arai's I buy them a lot more regularly. Can't rate them highly enough, sensibly priced, most models do well in the product tests and have out performed more expensive brands in the tests I've read, and I'm unfortunate enough to have tested two to destruction myself - no head injuries.
HRC Spies red white blue Rep is mine and Although its got a few chips now I really rate it and is just over two years old now .
