    New Helmet questions...

    in Clothing & Wearables

    Posted

    While in the Cycle Gear store, I tried on several of the major brands and then when I tried on the AGV, I was blown away at its obvious lightness campared to the others and wide field of view on it. That was the push for me to say, yeah, that's the one I gotta get.

    New Helmet questions...

    Helmet questions.... I had been hot on the new AGV K6 S, because it is very light at 2.8 pounds and has a very wide vison envelop to see anywhere I want. Also, the material are on the premium side as a plus. I only get a helmet every 6 years or so, so I didnt mind the price tag roughly at $550..... I had tryed an XL in the store, liked it, but found it almost snug but not a solid fit.
    So I normally wear a large and looked and looked and looked to find one to try on before putting $ down on one.
    That ended up to be a no go, and the only possible way to get one was online through Dianese (how do you say that?) out in California. Bit the bullet, when against my better judgement and ordered.
    Got thing today...... The pads are definately on the tight side, I wondering if this is gonna work?

    My questions is..... When you get a new helmet, do you expect it to be a bit tight and will get better with a break in? And mbe in time... expected hours to a good break-in period?
    -- I dont want to return the thing, but I will if needed..... --- I do like it...

    Thank all

    It's been very unexpected, the outpouring of support.  I missjudged it. 

    Hi

    Kinda of an idea.... Break the budget into quarters... say this 1st quarter is $500..that would seen to be a more attainable number over the annual number. 

    Then once a quarter.. .send out a call out thread to fill up the budget for the quarter. I would be happy to kick in quarterly to get to fill out the budget for that quarter. 

     

    Another idea, youll probably barf on this one, knowing your history, but add a sponsor tab, where you sell squares to paid sponsors. We would access only by clicking the tab. 

    Its definately more work, but you could get some bucks out of it, and we would get discounts from the sponsors. Of course there is always the possiblity of a legal entanglement, with a sponsor not delivering as they should...... just brainstorming... 

     

    Lastly if you decide to chuck it, as with last time, a group of us are fine to take it on if want to pass the torch. 

     

    Very best wishes

    Hey looking great! Dude, those K&N filters with the welded nut on the end have a history of metal fatigue at the spot weld and cracking, then leaking. 

    There's plenty of info on the net about it, and I am sure some members here have experienced it first hand. 

    Plz consider an alternate.

    If anyone is wondering, Custom Rewind is still in business.  I talked to them about a week ago.   They did my 6th gen's 1st rewind and it was great.  Cost now is $135 shipped back to you.  Phone is 205-798-7282.  2014 Pratt Hwy, Birmingham, AL.   35214  If you leave a message they will eventually call you back.   They will give you a custom length wire and whatever connector you specify.  Probably should call them 1st before asking for the latter. 

    Hey Cogs - How's going? :smile:

    Thanks for the heads up on Custom Rewind. Great news! I did a 5th gen a couple years back with extended leads and its working great. I am running the Furukawa connnectors direct on the extended leads so there is no intermediate connection..... Also I have another on the bench to do. Gonna get that one done too to have on hand.
