Foz Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 i can confirm that matt black lids are a pain to keep clean and they mark easy! i've got the HJC something-max shadowa mate of mine bought from me the HJC lid with the pump to fit doohickey! he's well chuffed with it! Quote
Guest Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 I'm ok with the hard to keep clean bit, but I suppose if it marks bad, I can get that sorted. I work at a company that has access to graphic, bodyshop & alloy resorters so between them they should be able to do something! I'm stuck on the Matt, now, just decided on the size! Quote
hammer5 Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 I've had my scorpion 1000 for a week or so now and in my opinion its a very very good helmet.BB Quote
Guest Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Yup had mine about the same. I love it! Lot more quieter than the AVG! Defo recommmened! Quote
Mightycaz Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 How did you get a black visor with the helmet? I went to get one last week but was told at HG they weren't allowed to sell em anymore?!?Let us know how the air thingys work out for you, I might be in the market for a new lid soon and would be fairly interested in one of these, I love gimmiks and gadgets me.......

hammer5 Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 You don't really need a black visor with it as you have the top gun flip lid inside, some people say it can distort your view IF wearing glasses i don't have that problem and my eyesight is bad.The pump helps a great deal and if its too hot a quick release of some air helps the ventilation out a little. The vents are pretty good a good blast of cold air is transferred around quite nicely on a hot day.Only minor gripe i have is the fitting i could do with being a couple of mm tighter so looks like i might need to grow more hair as i shave it (number 2)!!Other than that, great helmet and better than my old Shark Foggy rep.BB Quote
Guest Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 The visor thing is only on the 1000 not on the 450 I have, so I have a black visor with it.Agree with the ventilation and the inflatable cheeks! Excellent! My fit is fine, just needs to give slightly on the forehead, which its starting to do! Quote
hammer5 Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 How are you finding it for movement, is your head as snug as a bug in a rug or is there a little movement? Mine in the shop with a little pumping was extremely tight now its tight but i can wiggle it say a mm each way.BB Quote
Guest Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Its does move, if i move it, but other that its quite snug! Quote
Mightycaz Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 I have the pop down glasses in my HJC Scratch but I find when I have em down if I am riding at speed the lever on the top whistles like a bast*rd so I tend not to use it! Quote
Ash Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Caz, I know a really good website for dark visors and they get round the legal problems by being based in gurnsey (I think that's the place) anyway really quick delivery and reasonable prices, if you want then link I will give it to you on facebook as I don't think I can post it here Quote
