Guest Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I recently bought a new lid from a local bike accessories shop, it's a Shoei XR1000. It was only a couple of days ago I realised that there is no kite mark symbol or sticker etc on the back of it (like my old AGV). It does however have a label like this sewn in the strap http://www.shoei-europe.com/uk/homologationIs this sufficient? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoody Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Yes - it is CE approved which means t has gone through European Type approval tests - fit for purpose to be sold in the European states (of which we are one) This superceded the 'BS kite mark some time ago.The Gold ACU labels you get on some lids are not a legal requirement, they are to show it is fit for race purposes. These are largely pointless anyway as they are available to buy from some quarters Yes your lid is legal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
