Title: Got a new lid- KBC Force RR
Post by: CRXDrew on August 29, 2006, 07:50:34 PM
Just picked it up today. A local shop here by my school got me a killer price on the helmet. Lowest I could find online was 149 ish online with free ground shipping. They were able to call up their warehouse and get me one for 147 after tax and I got it the very next day  :thumb:

Excellent fit, like a glove
quieter than my old Shoei RF-700
vents galore
removable/washable liner
cheek pad replacements available in various sizes to suit needs
decent latching system (sturdy, not necessarily the fastest)
excellent aesthetic appeal
Snell M2005 and DOT (duh)
also got a silver mirror shield for 30 which was on backorder but should arrive in a few days.

Cool lid, my current one is a KBC.  Hopefully my McCoy slide king will be here in a few days.

120?? as far as wind noise its not tooo bad. *shrug* I like to wear ear plugs on longer rides where the noise might get annoying.
