Dold Industries import Arai stuff. They are based in Hamilton. They won't sell direct but will steer you towards your nearest stockist.

I use an iceblock stick instead of a screwdriver to reduce the chance of scratching/damage.

Exactly what I was thinking. You have no idea what it's been through. My last helmet was replaced after a minor off. It could no longer be trusted. No visible damage to the helmet other than a few scratches but the visor was toast.

I've heard sad stories about people breaking the side pod thingies and at least one of them was more mechanically gifted than am I.
There are a lot of those YouTube clips, study them well. Put the helmet on a table about waist height facing away from you and go to work. Carefully.
Use your hands so that the visor is pushed inward as well as down. You don't want to lever the pods off with the visor.

I was almost paranoid about changing visors but have now done it uneventfully several times - so far so good. (Fingers crossed.)

Can't do it like that Nicky Haden clip yet though. :whistle:

I have never had a problem changing an Arai visor. Can be done in a matter of seconds if you know how. Like the man said, study the video. But it ain't difficult.

I would never sell my old helmets, never know when I might need them.

If I drop it or crash it I'll donate it to St John Youth or Training for them to use as training tools. When they are donated they get spray painted with red X so that they are never used for riding again.

I had always wandered what to do with a defective or faulty helmet... I was contemplating taking the lining put and getting a saw out to cut the shell but red spray paint seams alot easier....

My first old helmet I tried hitting it with a sledge hammer - a big one with a meter long handle. Didn't even scratch it. Now I run them over the table saw.

FYI, you can buy the pods, not too expensive as I remember.

They do all the graphic ones too. Bought a set of KR ones when the small top hook broke on one of mine.

FFS. What is wrong with a dustbin? Do you cut up all your milk bottles with scissors just in case someone wants to use one?

PS - I sprayed a red X on mine cos it looked cool.

Where I grew up it was thought to be quite likely that someone would fish it out of the tip and use it.

Emergency services need props for training exercises. So old bikes that dont work, gear that can be cut or helmets they can practice taking off and stuff like that.

But if someone used one of the dropped ones and didn't know it was dud, and then had a fall and it didn't protect them I would feel guilty.
