So what do we think, boys and girls? Went and tried one on today, and it instantly felt "right". Seems like a really nice lid. It looks like shopping on-line would get me one only slightly cheaper than my local shop, so I'll probably buy it locally. -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - Podium Placed Ducati Race Engineer as featured in Performance Bikes and Fast Bikes WS* GHPOTHUF#24 APOSTLE#14 DLC#1 COFF#20 BOTAFOT#150 HYPO#0(KoTL) IbW#41 SBS#39 OMF#6 Enfield 500 Curry House Racer "The Basmati Rice Burner", Honda GL1000K2 (Falling apart) Kawasaki ZN1300 Voyager "Oh, Oh, It's so big" Suzuki TS250 "The Africa Single" Honda ST1100 wiv trailer
A copper I was speaking to recently had one "for work", as it were. He liked it, although reckoned it was a bit noisy. To me, fit is more important than anything else, so if it feels right, I'd go for it.
Ooh. Ta. I wonder if Pixmania sell 'em. -- | ___ Salad Dodger |/ \ _/_____\_ GL1500SEV/CBR1100XXX/CBX1000Z |_\_____/_| ..89938../..25562.../..31896.

1786g though mate, heavier than any helmet I've ever owned. A nice Arai Corsair or HJC HQ1 would be light and the very safe helmets. I'm not saying *you* need to wear a really protective helmet you understand now....
Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Hog Oddly, it felt very light. But then, I'm used to me Lazer Revolution, which *was* heavy. heh. -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - Podium Placed Ducati Race Engineer as featured in Performance Bikes and Fast Bikes WS* GHPOTHUF#24 APOSTLE#14 DLC#1 COFF#20 BOTAFOT#150 HYPO#0(KoTL) IbW#41 SBS#39 OMF#6 Enfield 500 Curry House Racer "The Basmati Rice Burner", Honda GL1000K2 (Falling apart) Kawasaki ZN1300 Voyager "Oh, Oh, It's so big" Suzuki TS250 "The Africa Single" Honda ST1100 wiv trailer
When I'm down in 3 weeks feel the weight of this HJC. 1300g or less, as Christo can testify it's like a feather (he crashed in one). The Corsair is similar. I guess you want a flip front though. From the System3 on I've found them all to be very heavy.
My HJC flip front is 1700g, Linda's is 1750g. Quite possibly the noisiest crash helmet I've ever owned. It's quieter with the front up. -- | ___ Salad Dodger |/ \ _/_____\_ GL1500SEV/CBR1100XXX/CBX1000Z |_\_____/_| ..89938../..25562.../..31896.

Don't think so. The original Syncrotec weighed about that. The Syncrotec II weighs about 1525 and the Multitec weighs about 1400.
