Title: New Lid
Post by: Kiwifruit on Monday, 17 May 2021, 01:49 PM
For some time now l have been looking to replace my old and rather tatty Shoei GT Air. Tried on lots and my preference was the GT Air. Price was a hurdle at $1100.
Now buying a secondhand helmet is not normally my thing. But.....seeing a secondhand one for sale nearby l couldnt resist giving the fella a call. He said it was in mint condition so l went for a look.
My new lid is now the same as my old GT Air, not the mk2 but it's  like new. Well happy,  $400 and with a brand new clear visor  :onya:

Wore it yesterday and nteresting thing is just about every bike gave us a wave. Even management mentioned it. Am thinking my old black and white with a bit of hi-vis yellow may have looked a bit like a copper.

Good on ya mate, looks as new alright & 400 notes is excellent buying.  I'm happy with my Nolan Flip face (or modular) hat.

Yes they said Sena make an intercom that goes straight in the mk2
We have a Sena system its the slim one, about 6 years old works well so will put it in the new lid.

Yep plugs straight  in,  even has recesses built in to run the mike and ear speakers. Battery pack and transceiver sits in the back. Has a mini usb for charging and software updates via bt and sena app.
