Helmet Repair

I don't have a fancy paint job on my helmet as it gets scuffed, scratched and scrapped all the time. I was carrying my Shoei by the chin guard and I hit the open visor against a large wood door. If I had hit any other part of the helmet it would just be another scratch. But I hit the open edge of the visor. It broke the ratchet mechanism on one side.

I cussed up a storm, but rode home OK. I went to the Shoei website and ordered a repair kit. Only $15 and $9.50 shipping.

Here's the broken parts and the replacement. Took three days to ship and a half-hour to replace both sides. Plus, the instructions show how to adjust the shield for a tight fit against the opening. I'll test it later.
