So i'm looking for another helmet. I have 2 AGV ones atm, a K3 and K4-SV. I'm looking for something abit more pricey this time, and have narrowed it down to two. Now the problem is do i stick with AGV, which fit me perfectly and have some mad graphic designs, which I like, or, do i go for a carbon fiber lid form a brand I've not worn before. They're both around the same cost, but i will have to get another visor for the AGV, adding on about £70 to the price, whereas the carbon one comes with 2 pinlocks as standard.
So, do I play it safe or is the grass greener, or blacker, in this case...

Re: New Lid Dilemma
Always go for the one that fits you properly so, so import.
Other then that check the sharp web site to see which helmet will give you the most protection.

Might also want to check this out for visors

Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

Re: New Lid Dilemma
How pricey is pricey?
Out of the two if it fits just as well I would go carbon
But that's me.
I recently just changed from OGK to shark, nervous at first but after a bit it felt fine.

Re: New Lid Dilemma
Well i went to try on the two i fancied, saw something else and got that! It was to cheap to turn down, with 2 visors, both pinlocked.

Nicely done.
I went with Bambam to get battery for his Bike and ended up with a bill like that for a new lid.
