Premium Member Trambo Posted July 16, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 16, 2015 trambo, totally off subject - what bag is that on the back? Will it hold a full face helmet?That's the old (discontinued) Cortech Sport tailbag. It will not hold a helmet, but great for raingear, gloves, bottled water, snacks and almost anything else. 2015 Stealth Grey FJ-09 Pilot Base of Operations: Chesterfield, VA Farkels? Lots, nothing flashy, but all functional... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonesie Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 My current lid is a Shoei GT air in red/black, apart from the pinlock getting marked it's faultless and a perfect fit. The only down side that I have found is that I got a sunburnt nose since the drop down visor doesn't cover it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db5304 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 trambo, totally off subject - what bag is that on the back? Will it hold a full face helmet?I have a nelson riggs that looks quite similar, and I believe will hold a full face if it is unzipped fully. It also has a rain cover that will go over it and unzips as well to cover it while fully expanded. The first picture is zipped up and the second is fully loaded, although a little hard to see.

That's one of the best tailbags there ever was - not huge, but expandable out to the sides, secures to the bike well, carries more than you'd think. My go-to when my saddlebags don't have enough space. s e t h 2015 FJ-09 (The Me Bike) - CalSci, RAM, Shad, Givi, CrampBuster, Grip Puppies, GoPro, my custom Garage Door Opener Mod 2014 Valkyrie (The We Bike) - Too much to list, and no one on this forum cares anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My go-to when my saddlebags don't have enough space.I totally agree, and I'm heartbroken that it's not my bag!! My buddy let me borrow it during the rally at Deals Gap for the week because my side cases were still backordered, so I rode with it all that week and LOVED it. When I got back home, I tried hard to find a new one on the innerwebz but they just aren't out there anymore. I found a few used ones, but they were either in lousy condition, or missing straps / parts that I needed. *sigh* The new Cortech Super 2.0 tailbag looks nice... but I'd really need to see one in person. On MY bike. Hmm.... 2015 Stealth Grey FJ-09 Pilot Base of Operations: Chesterfield, VA Farkels? Lots, nothing flashy, but all functional...

cbr600 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Anyone using transition pinlock inserts? Shoei still does not show the transition visor available for the Hornet X2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogri Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Bought a Bell Star Carbon RSD Sway helmet last week. Very impressed with fit and finish and outstanding ventilation. Compares well with my very old Arai RX-7 RR4. I'm an XL (61 cm) and they run a little on the large side, so I am going to try replacing the 45 mm cheek pads with 50 mm for a more snug fit.

ronald1601 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I ride with a Shark Vancore, it's not the most quiet helmet out there, but it's fine with earplugs. It certainly is the lightest helmet I've ever worn, only 1250 grams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffb13 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 the exo t1200 scorpionjust came in . many gimmicks on this helmet . air pump ,screw to limit drop of internal sun visor.....but the fit is almost right on. my head size is 23.5 or 59.6 cm...and only few or maybe only shoei and scorpion make a large that is a 50 to 60 cm whereas most others have only 2 shell sizes and it goes 58 to 59 and 60 to 61 . the interior of the helmet is not as plush nor as full underneath ( to keep noise out ) as the shoei and schuberth . hope to get a ride on it today or tmw. when the rain stops .....
