    How attach the visor to helmet?

    GRRR...

    An hour of frustration and one wrecked helmet visor mechanism later... What is the trick to attaching these fuckers?

    I now have one 2 week old $199 hjc c-14 helmet that is stuffed even the missus who is a lottt more patient than me couldn't crack it. Was a tinted one so you couldnt see where the clips and stuff were

    I wasn't all that rough with it, but by the end it i felt like pummelling the friggin thing

    I may be kinda slow....but im not retarted.

    Patience is not one of my strengths, especially for fiddly shit like that

    Glad I was entertaining for you though, cos I'm sure you have never done anything silly involving bikes right??

    Hah... well i'm glad that has been cleared up then.

    I wonder If i can replace the whole visor mechanisim thing or if i have to slap another $300-500 bucks down on a new helmet...

    Might have to upgrade to shoei or arai etc..

    Thanks for the offer mate..

    I will have another go at it when I'm in a more "peaceful" frame of mind...

    Failing that I wil probably use it as a spare

    According to the HJC website parts are available through their distributors, so your dealer should be able to order you one. http://www.hjchelmets.com/faq_08.htm

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes
