So I used to ride in an Old Skool Kevin Schwantz Arai, loved it and still have it, So now I rock a 2008 Busa, and got a Shoei RF-1000 with what looks like a transformers logo on the side, thats why i got it... grew up on Transformers...
Anyway...
I have come to hate the ratcheting shield on the thing... I am so ready to take my clear one as a test unit and dremel the edges off of it so it's either open or closed...A feature I got used to on my Arai...
Any of you tried this yet...
I did find a nice lubricant to help with the perimeter gasket. Your gonna love this. From working for Honda Motor Co. at a dealer for a few years Honda cars, noT bikes, has this stuff called Shin-Etsu grease. Basically it's like a white silicon type grease but in a paste format. So last night I cleaned my hemlet with the visor eremoved and just wiped the edges of the gasket with it. man what a difference it made...
Shin-Etsu grease was designed as a lubricant and cleaned for rubber seals, it's the only thing we could use on Del-Sols, S-2000s and NSX cars to get the tops to shut up, it cleaned and lubricates and doesn't attract dirt... I use it on my door seals, window seals, sunroof seals and the like. It's great... If you drive an old Accord or Legend and the door sticks b/c the moulding catches on itself, this is the stuff that cures it.
Figured I would just throw that out there...
While I save for an Arai RX7-Corsair
