CLOSED GB: Skull Skins

^^Same. Lets in more light than my iridium. Will try and post some piccies of Ancient Pirate soon. Crappy camera phone pics are crappy.

But I find it really stiffles air flow having the cover on, so I've taken it off for the time being until I can work something out.

Yeah I found that as well but on the plus side wind noise is about 15% of what it was. It's kinda eerie!

In other news, I don't think it makes it too dark to ride in at night... I tested it and I'd prefer to be stuck with this one than my iridium visor, personally, if I were to choose between the two at night.

Yeah it wasn't too bad... needed the high beams on the darker streets but otherwise much like a plain tinted visor.

Got some awesomely flabbergasted looks last night

ok here is mine and peeps you really do need a bit of patience putting the sticker on and work it around a fair bit to get all the bubbles out.



I can't lift my visor because the skin covers 3/4's of the helmet and the visor pivot point and also covers half my eyes which is a shame ...



One thing that I am a little worried about is this is basically the first time proper fitting the helmet and the black circle is the stitching ... Looks like its not going to hold together very long ... opinions please? The pink circle is where my visor pivots. Anyone else can't lift their visor with these on?

[Murley]

Viper, mine tucks in behind the visor hinge so no problems opening the visor, I put mine on leaving the visor on. My velcro doesn't stick to the inside but it sits there just fine without it.

[Teedo]

i cant open my visor either, nor does the velcro quick very well to the inside. Will have another look at it today though

if you pull it forward enough it will hold but really its poor velcro and isn't there to stop it falling back. if you fit it correctly it is just a soft hold.

Viper I have the Iron Head as well, and I have the same issue as you... I can just crack the visor enough to put sunnies on, but otherwise thats it.

I love the look of it, I just need to make it a bit more practical.

[Rat750]

^^ Same. I'm not going to worry too much about modifying it though as I will only really use it occasionally.

[Dubs]

I think the main issue will come if it's repeatedly going on and off the helmet.

[padfoot]

I'd like to wear it all the time, I just need to not suffocate while doing so

[Donza]

[Rat750]

Yeah it looks a lot better than what I had anticipated.

[browncow]

They really need actual shots of the visor on people's lids for their site...

[Kilma]
