Probably zero chance of getting a fresh transition shield for a 10 year old rs-1?
1300grKevin, what is the weight on that, if you know? I always appreciated light weight as much as any other feature, and probably more so.
Wonder if you could do the outer transition and add a inner pinlock transition to get the darkness during the sunny days.I've got one on my RS1. I've been disappointed in it from the beginning, certainly for what it cost. Of course they probably sit on a shelf for a year of that 2 years, but it's never transitioned enough and definitely doesn't get dark enough. I only use it on cloudy days as I'd need sunglasses to on a sunny day.
Interesting since the best helmet db is reduced wind noise to about 97Db but damage to the ears starts at 70+ Db. Short rides your fine but long rides you are doing damage in any helmet from my research. Championhelmets has some of the best testing and results to support this. CheersView attachment 34150
Shoei RF 1400. Matches my bike almost perfectly. Very quiet too. With the Shoei and the DB killer I don't need earplugs
I love the colour-coded Helmet as it works so well. Congratulations on a nice match.View attachment 34150

I'm also very happy with my Cardo. When my Neotec bit the dust in an accident I had to search long and hard to find a NOS Neotec in my size. Fortunately I did and it was much easier to fit the Cardo to it rather than the Neo2. Not sure what I'll do next time because I like my Neotec too. You'd think they'd at least make a non-comm helmet without the Sena mount bolted/cast right into the shell.I wear Shoei Neotec 2. I like it, very comfortable also the Shoei NXR is light but, I prefer a Modular helmet like the Neotec 2. Sadly most helmets these days tend to be built to take the Sena and I love my Cardo system that can be adapted to fit these regardless. It would be nice to be able to use both systems as a choice.
I used the double-sided tape on the bracket to mount the unit as close to the front of the helmet as I could and still reach it as if I were using the clip and it works just fine. Still would love to be able to have the Cardo integrated into the helmet.I'm also very happy with my Cardo.

You'll have to post a how-to on how you mated a Cardo to the N2 shell. It looked to me like the Sena mount was right where I wanted to mount the Cardo.
I've installed a whole bunch of non-Sena SRL2 intercoms to Neotec 2 helmets at work. It's never been a problem, but the module mouting plate has to be glued on. And those glue-plates are always included in an intercom kit.I'm also very happy with my Cardo.

Yep. That's the problem with the naked bikes. They're more comfortable but you sit so high up, wind noise becomes a real concern. It's quieter on my zx10Interesting since the best helmet db is reduced wind noise to about 97Db but damage to the ears starts at 70+ Db.

This might be a bit hard to see but the helmet on the back of my Versey 1000 with the Cardo mounted to the left side of the Neotec was never an issue operating the coms. I hope that helps Kenors with his request.I've installed a whole bunch of non-Sena SRL2 intercoms to Neotec 2 helmets at work.
