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.
![]() Uploaded with ImageShack.us 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. ![]() Uploaded with ImageShack.us 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. ![]() Uploaded with ImageShack.us |

I busted the ratchet mechanism on one side on my HJC CL-MAXX a couple years back - ordered a new one for like 15 bucks and it took all of 5 minutes to replace and has been great since.
Now if I can stop rolling the damn thing across cement... ![]() The chin bar has more scratches than a tree in a bear cage.

Let me know how your adjusting goes. I can't get the outter corners on the top to seal, makes a nice whistle at speed.
