    Whats everyone's chosen lid at the moment? Thinking of getting something new but unsure as to what....

    I currently have A Shoei XR1100 plug in TC4 (Black & Green) and an Arai Chaser V Strain Silver.

    Toying with the idea of an AGV Pista GP, Anyone got one? Hows the fit/wind noise. No-one up this neck of the woods stocks them so I ant try one on etc.

    Cheers

    Danny

    I have a shoei xr1000 in white and black, an arai rx7 in old pedrosa colours, have tried other helmets but find there is too much gap at the back of the neck

    Running a Shoei XR1100. Shoei is the only helmet that fits my stupid head shape properly.

    That AGV is very very nice looking though, Might see if i can try one on locally now.....

    X-spirit 2 mcguiness rep and x-spirit Kato memorial
    Tried Arai but my head seemed between sizes with there lids.
    Trouble is everybody's swedes are different shapes so what's perfect for one is rubbish for another :(

    I have just bought a Arai Rx7 Gp which feels great.
    I think what you need to do Danny is look around at a few makes and see which one fits your head best. I was looking at the Shcuberth R1 and Shoei GT air both of which I liked But tried both on and then the Arai and found this fitted my head better

    So see what make you like, design and price then try them on.

    My currrent/last lid was a Matt black Shark visor R which has been a great lid also and fitted my head well

    I have a Nitro N1200-vx
    It's a bit old now and I'm long overdue a new lid

    I had an Arai RX7 and wanted an AGV Pista but after tryin several, even with differant thickness inserts, I couldn't get on to fit. I have however found that an RPHA10 plus fits very nicely and with a bonus of being half the price.

    I have the shoei x spirit 2 that I found to be a great helmet plus recently purchased a new arai Rx-7 gp leon haslam. Haven't rode with it yet but it's really comfy to wear whilst watching the tv

    Just Bought a AGV Pista GP Elements helmet, love it.

    Yet to use it yet though, love the bright colours, i think that's usually the first thing people have a chance to see of you is your lid over a car roof ?

    That's why I bought a bright bike too !!
