Killafornia Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 It looks much better with a dark smoked visor. I don't know why I dont see a lot of red helmets. I have the Phantasm paint scheme but where can i get a dark visor like that? That also supports the pinlock thingy from preventing fogging? Yes it does have the pinlock insert. Get it from revzilla.com so you dont have to pay tax, or Cycle Gear if u wanna buy it locally. I think your helmet will look better with the chrome mirror, its $30 more though.

w1ngzer0 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 A lot of ads for the fz-07 features the shark raw or any variation of a helmet with goggles. I myself not only wears the XD4, but I also wear a TLD air without the peak and Oakley goggles. Opinions on just cool factor vs safety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator Guru Posted August 7, 2014 Author Global Moderator Share Posted August 7, 2014 More cool than safe I would think. It's something people in Europe wear in an urban environment. You see them a lot in France, also because Shark is made there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asaulo1 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I never really saw the point in the Grom, i mean except for midgets under 4 foot 10 it's basically a glorified tricycle. I mean what does it have like 10 hp? And a ridiculously uncomfortable seat? Like what could have possibly interested you asaulo about that honda thing? you should ride it and see... it's just too much fun.... here's a quick video when we were doing some canyon runs on the grom 2015 Yamaha FZ-07 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300 2014 Honda Grom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator Guru Posted August 7, 2014 Author Global Moderator Share Posted August 7, 2014 Being off topic... I think a Grom is all about not giving a F$^ck and having fun. Sure, it's not fast and it looks awkward, but who cares. I remember having a great time on my 50cc Yamaha FS1 when I was 16. I think a Grom is hilarious, in a good way. I'd love one, just for the heck of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w1ngzer0 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I think I am getting a Shark Vancore from Europe. It's like a Raw, but has front crash protection. Looks like an mx helmet with quick strap goggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trace20012 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I just picked up a Bell RS-1 for pretty cheap. Wanted the Icon Airmada but just could pass up the deal on the Bell. Overall like it so far just hope it lessens up a little as I wear it. Next will be the photochromatic lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lusiphur Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I just watched the Revzilla review of that helmet. For $200 that helmet has a ton of features. The only thing I don't like is that it is convertible. I slammed my chin real hard in a wreck and I will never wear anything but a full face. I worry about whether or not the removable piece would be able to protect you enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member pgeldz Posted August 9, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted August 9, 2014 Arai Defiant. From my first motorcycle nearly 30 years ago (and crash in which an Arai saved my life) I've never wore anything other than Arai. The safety, fit, finish, and comfort really is some of the best available. When professional racers at the highest level actually pay out of their own pocket to wear an Arai, that should tell you something. What I like about Arai is that they have different helmets for different head shapes, so there is almost always a helmet in their line up that will fit perfect. The new Defiant was based of their popular RX-Q, but tailored for naked bike riders, and I can tell you it works. It was made for the straight up to 3/4 riding position, and the venting works best in those positions. It flows A TON of air, more than any Arai I've worn before, all while being actually quieter. No annoying whistling with vents open, etc. The shape also supports naked bike riding with what they call a hyper ridge. Basically, it keeps you head stable at speed for bikes without fairings. With my old Arai Quantum F on my SV650 my neck would be strained on the highway just to keep my head from moving about. Not so with the Defiant. Perfectly comfortable at speed. Might be worth a look if you are constantly fighting wind buffeting with your current helmet. - Paulie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted August 10, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted August 10, 2014 I like my Bell RS-1 at freeway speeds. It is very stable. My old helmet (an HJC CL-15) wanted to lift if I tilted my head back at all. The Bell does not. It seems happy at any head position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazicht Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Gonna pick up a new Arai RX-Q to replace the Shoei RF1100 I've been using for the last year. The Arai feels way more comfortable for my head shape then the RF. I'm just bummed it took me a year to learn this FZ07 Mods: Akrapovic Ti - Shorai Lithium Battery - Pazzo Levers - OEM Flyscreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
