For what it's worth the Scorpion changes in a heartbeat. I changed mine in about 2 minutes.

Get a rubber mallet out of the tool kit, and convince it to fit. If you know what I mean.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

The Arai quick change shield does not respond well to force.....I should know. Last time I changed screens I broke the one I was taking off. Now I have a Shark helmet and it's better in just about every way......

I'm sure she's thrilled at you when she sees that.
She's in her own world.

But lord, don't let me not be ready when she wants to take off! :roll:

:shock: That's not good to hear, did you have to buy the new helmet or just got sick of the Arai?

Sev will tell you not to buy the helmet I have, a KBC. I thought it was okay at first but now the visor clips have busted twice and the seller had to replace them. The guy that changed them for me hated the clip system. And I haven't even owned the thing for a full season yet. It's quite comfy though but I sure hope it doesn't break again. I've since gathered a lot of the other helmets have way better visor clip systems.
Ya right, :wink: there are only 2 kinds of bikes: It's a Ninja... look that one's a Harley... oh there's a Ninja... Harley...Ninja...
