Update; at 100+mph IT'S KINDA FUCKING LOUD!!!!

I don't know...it's kinda like when I had my 'Busa in 2000 the performance was awe inspiring but I HATED the way it looked! I have the same problem with the RSR2 , it is light, quiet, comfortable but I hate it! It's over an inch taller than this helmet and it looks like it was made for deep sea diving. Plus the fucking vents are impossible to operate but seem to ALWAYS be closed! Grrrrrr!!!!!

Oh note; the vents are great on this lid and use Shark's "one touch" system. Basically you push the cover in to open the vent. Very, very easy to operate.

Oh #2 negative on the no fog arena. This will require a Fog City this Fall.

oh and here it is in white/red




Free shipping promo is over but they only charge $9 to ship a lid anyway.

I've seen the red at Ron Ayer's and it looks fucking hot! I'm just not into red.

Sweet! The breath guard from my RSR2 fits this lid so the fogging issue is no more!
