New Lid Time

Bollox it's a shite system...I've broke the pods...my ex broke his and I've spoke to numerous people who've had issues with them and the system.
The Arai is the most returned helmet to dealers in terms of people having issues with it....fact.

 

Ooooh your saying it like it is and dishing out the downvotes and disagrees tonight aren't you !!!

 

@Mattie660 , you are a living legend.

You have finally put to rest the conundrum I've suffered for years by explaining the reason for my disassociation of wife number one.

 

Like you said. Sausage fingers may be. I've had mine 8years and never had an issue.sounds like there not for you.

 

How did you break the pods ?

 

Ooohhh

 

Your right paulo
I thought she was having a hot flush as well



I’m off

 

They have changed the visor system on the newer rx7-v So you pop the side pods off to change the visor.
Very easy now lozzy, also the pods are smaller but doesn’t make much difference to how bloody noisy they still are.

 

Guess I won't be heading to Barlborough to buy you a Costa and a cake then

 

Glad to be of help ....

 

Hmm Di has the new rx7v....maybe I'll wait till she's in the loo and have a go at prising them off and if it goes tits up I'll just say a fat bastard knocking it off the table whilst I wasn't looking

 

Sorry everyone I had a grumpy moment and was v tired...thanks for all your imput its much appreciated...



you're still a twat mind Bazza

 

Just trying to change the visor...I ended up never using it outside of daylight and just left the dark visor in
Also...Im clumsy and drop my lids quite a bit and I've found that apart from the odd dent/scratch the shoeis remain intact whereas the last time I dropped the Arai all the bits on it virtually exploded...that's when it got kicked in the bin

 

I bought the HJC RPHA recently and everything about it is better than my RX7V, it’s quieter and lighter and the ventilation is awesome.

ARAI have a lot of catching up to do to other manufacturers I think, especially with the RX7V line which is supposed to be the top of the line lid

 

Good recommendation from a serial helmet purchaser. Thanks!

 

My mate had a HJC and his bike fell over in his van on to it and it split the helmet
So don’t fancy one of them

 

Let me ease them:

I might have to get this and attend all the ride outs!!

 

Bet it wasn’t a top end rpha11 or 10+? I’ve come off and literally bounced down the road in hjc and it actually fairer better than my arai so wouldn’t be put off by your mate being unlucky

 

Seem to think it was an 11 but not sure
