Arai Helmet - fitting a visor -remove and refit Arai type L visor
Probably the best helmet in the world. It doesn't hurt to see where you are going. Despite the mystique, Arai visors are a doddle to remove and fit. Easy way is to stand behind the helmet, lift up the visor, lift up the black tab levers, then the visor will move up and back and release. Dont forget the silicon lube thats supplied with each genuine arai visor. This one happens to be a new L type Arai visor with pinlock, fitting it onto an Arai SV helmet. Removing your visor also allows you to properly get at all the area around the opening for cleaning. Its not a bad idea to keep the lube and use a drop or two each time you remove/replace the visor. Its fecking amazing how much the clarity of a visor degrades over the winter with all the muck, and wiping with gloves. At night you'll really notice this. You can also polish out light marks very well with a product called Greygate plastic polish, which the air force and navy use for polishing aeroplane and helicopter canopies and screens. You rarely see it in shops, but there are a couple of good suppliers on Ebay. Arai genuine visors from your local bike shop. In the UK from Phoenix Distribution ltd.
