WINNER!
After having my last lid for 1 year and over 15k miles I decided I'm about due for a new toy.
1. First Impressions/Unboxing Impressions
The lid came in the post Via DPD, very well boxes and protected, 1st time buying a lid on-line so I was glad to see it was in safe hands.
The lid was brand new and the box was undamaged (no knocks or dents or crinkled card board.
All the parts of the lid where working and well finished no scratches on the visors and it came with a lid bag.
2. Initial Setup/Installation
The fit of this lid was lovely just right for my head. the size chart for fitting was bang on.
3. Real World Testing (how did it perform)
So far only used it for about an hour of total riding and its alot quieter that i thought it was going to be for a modular lid. its quite hard to swap the lid from open to closed faced while moving as you have to fiddle with a catch before it can be moved.
(I have now a year later moved on to a new lid)
This lid was great I still use it for longer wetter rides.
the catch for opening the lid got easyer to use with time.
The visor gives you plenty of vision and is pin-lock ready it even comes with some pin-lock inserts.
The sun visor is huge and cover your full vision very easy to move up and down when riding.
This lid also has a "PJ" system that allows you to ride with an open face, even with the face open its still quite and I don't suffer from any buffeting.
4. Specs & Other noteworthy facts
I got if from www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk with next day delivery.
They kept in touch with my constantly to let my know when its was going to arrive very happy with them, 1st time using them and will go back soon for some boots and gloves.
5. Tester's Opinion (summary)
Love it going for a large ride after work tonight to test it out more.
I will also update in the summer.
Great lid still use it some time.
6. Star Rating
I give this 4 Stars...
1 star = piece of crap
2 star = maybe I should have done more research before buying this?
3 star = decent bit of kit for the money
4 star = better than expected with some nice extras/features
5 star = does it have a sister I can marry?! (aka I will buy this again!)
