I find it considerably quieter than my "old" HJC...well worth it IMHO.
It also feels a lot more balanced...nicer at all speeds.
The whisper kit is about $50 from memory too...

Thats not too bad a price to save your hearing. Cheers for the advice, much appreciated!

lol! After a long ride all I can hear is riiiiiiing aaaaa diiiing diiiing diiiing and it gets louder and louder for quite a while, usually until I go to sleep. It gets very irritating like that bloody Crazy Frog song!

This is the Shark Helmet site there are some awesome helmets.

Hey good point, cheers! I reckon its a lemon cos as well as 2 vents broken ( and not thru misuse either! ) I had to replace the visor almost immediately cos the coating started flaking off...

Hey, this is going to sound a bit stalkerish, but did you go to Botany Town Centre on Saturday? I noticed a guy with that helmet...

TL: that's one of the helmets I was talking about earlier. I love it

When I get the money, I'm gonna get me one of those.

I'm soooo jealous!

Good helmet,nice and steady at "pace" but a bit on the noisey side without ear plugs.
Will invest in a whisper kit I reckon

Just saw this now.

You got a damn good deal. JWALKER on this site payed over $900 for his just like that.

Got one of the Shark butterfly lids. But I must have a funny shaped head, cause it HURT. So I went back to my nice comfy light Shoei instead!

But I do have to admit - it looks the business.

**skelstar** · 1st August 2006, 09:12

For the sake of prettty lids heres my new one. I LOVE it.

Its a Kagayama Shoei XR-1000. Looks pretty good with the tinted visor, might have to get a iridium light tint for it too sometime.

i just got a hjc cl-14 on thursday

, its matte metallic gray with black tribal-ish decals.. will post a pic later

Hey V, found some more helmets you should consider. Theyre all KBC helmets. Like the dark evil one. Would look awesome with your evil looking bike, as would the Gunslinger one. The last one is just a girly one for balance.
