Post by: ZG on July 17, 2013, 10:00:45 PM: I just read the article in the new Motorcyclist magazine, pretty cool lid for the price point.

Here's the CF with white accents. The ones you linked are not CF.

It looks like a nice helmet...

No. The Lazer Monaco is not the same as the Monaco Carbon. The others are fiberglass.

Theirs sold for $35 at the time.... Things sure have changed! However, on subject, that is a beautiful helmet would match the carbon-fiber accents on my machine.

Post by: ARS on July 19, 2013, 04:57:26 AM: The intermediate oval sounds like it may fit like an Aria RX-Q to me. That windshield looks great.

And I have yet to see "transitions" type lenses that are completely clear and yet get dark enough to be really useful.

Post by: Cuda on July 21, 2013, 10:25:01 AM: The white color comment was a JOKE , I would never wear black anything but pants on a motorcycle , just last night a Old biker (81 ) was telling me most of his friends that got hit by cars were stopped at lights? carbon fiber is strong but brittle , Kevlar would be better. 8)
