Saw an ad for a joint in Essendon, www.bikesplus.com.au I can only hope their physical store is better than their website, if the store was mine I wouldn't even be advertising a website that is a) seriously amateurish and b) not even close to completion yet, but then that's just me maybe.

Guys, the TZ-R and XR-1000 have exactly the same shell and padding , its only the venting that differs, even take same visors...they should fit exactly the same..

Yep, that's what I found when I was trying to decide between them. I went with the XR because of the superior ventilation. With the mid-30 days we've been having lately, I'm farkin' glad I did, too!

I bought a XR1000 recently so I'm keen to try that out without a fall of course...

MCAS in Liverpool are having a clearance sale on *OLDER* stock Shoei, Arai etc helmets, I think they had some Arai RX7s for $800-900, and Shoeis $100-200 below retail but the cheaper ones are the old stock.

Regarding fogging, I've used the Progrip antifog inserts without any problems, they work good - $30. It provides a light tint good enough for day and night use. But they don't seem to go darker with more light and need replacing every 12-18 months.

Or spend half that and buy the RJays brand at $15.....I've had both brands and they are identical in performance.
