F@@K! Helmet lost a piece.
 
Just picked up my helmet to move it, and the shield was loose. Lifted the shield, and it popped out of the right side. Took it off the left, and the right side release lever is missing!

I've seen spoilers and chin curtains and breath deflectors for the RF-1000, but are the release levers available anywhere? The mechanism on both sides is replaceable.

Contact Shoei. I lost a piece off of my HJC and they shipped me a replacement, free of charge.

Newenough to the rescue!

...waiting to see what shipping will cost...
WTF? $10 shipping? For standard ground...
USPS Priority Mail is $5.50.

You're right...wonder how long it would take to get? Should be a warranty part.

Write shoei an email or call them, they replaced some things on my helmet free of charge and free shipping.

I just emailed them, but it's a holiday weekend, so I don't expect much till at least tuesday. If I order from Newenough, it probably won't do anything till tuesday. If I don't make my track day the 6th because of a lousy release lever, I'll be pissed.

Should always have a backup.

Haven't been able to afford another $400 helmet

Who said a backup had to be 4 bills?

Yep, I'd find a cheap helmet that fits well. Personally, I'd get a Scorpion (if it fits your head right). It's a well made helmet and cheap.

I've got my old shitty Gmax as a back up. It's no Suomy...but it'll work should something happen.

Well, now I have two replacements on the way- one warranty from Shoei, and one from newenough. The newenough set will definitely be here in time- because I payed $20 for second day air. Have to tear down again thursday/friday to fit the track plastics. *sigh* The things we do to ride.

I was just about to say, if you needed a helmet for your TD I could let you borrow my back up for it. If your in SW PA you cant be that far from me.

NewEnough scores again! I paid for second business day- should have had it by thursday. Just checked the tracking and it arrived today! :twfix:
