hjc go welly batu caves..

Hello guys, I'm planning to get CB250R around end of year and am looking at HJC helmet. Should I go for IS17/C70/I70 (same shell just old and new version) or save my wallet with CS15?

Depends on whether you fancy a sunvisor or not ~ For me I prefer to have sun visor for my eye comfort

Just bought an LS2 Valiant II helmet.. sigh its too noisy even with earplugs.. anyone else have this helmet and have similar experience?

At 80 the wind noise is like me riding 120 with a cheapo MHR modular helmet..

It is a intermediate oval - which is typical for LS2 helmets. My head is snug with the helmet - Which makes the loud noise even more confusing. Hence why i am asking for feedback to those who have it..

I get that modular helmets are louder than a full face helmet. But like i said this helmet is louder than my el cheapo MHR modular helmet which i didnt expect at all. Reviews of the LS2 valiant 2 has it quieter than the original so yeah..

Will try that on my next ride..

it is normal for the cheek bones to start hurting after riding for 90 mins or so with a helmet?? i dont feel the helmet pressing on my cheeks hard when i put on the the helmet.

I wonder how u guys wear earplugs until becomes louder than other helmets?
I'm using foam type, and rolled, and pressed deep into ear canal. Almost no sound comes through.

guys, newbiw question, but at what speed is a helmet consider noisy? I mean like for a full face helmet, at what speed do you really notice there's wind noise?
I've just got a B full license, looking to buy a 2nd hand bike
Only got open face helmet for the exam and riding speed in the school is less than 40km.. Can't really hear any significant wind noise comparing to a riding a bicycle cuz the speed is so slow

long term slight wind noise will still damage hearing right? Like your HJC IS17, slight wind noise, but over a long period will it still damage hearing?
and how often do you guys here wear earplugs?

I'm thinking of maybe wearing earphones when I ride.
since it's always connected to bluetooth, can listen to songs/navigation.. also quite sound proof so kinda works the same as an earplug i guess? Not say fully block everything out but then like you said, if too quiet, it seems very weird

today went to Motoroworld and bought HJC CS-15

next up wanna change visor color, any idea what color might suit 

Black tinted. Or a very light smoked if you don't intend to change visor all the time when it gets dark. Whatever visor you get, do yourself a favour and get a pinlock insert for it.

I have a red/gold colour shifting visor on my HJC RPHA 70. Slight blue tint on the inside as it filters out the reds. Feels cooler. I normally carry a clear visor if out for longer rides.

I got it from shopee. Direct from china. They call this the Revo red coating. Obviously it's not original HJC. There is a lot of HJ26 visors in the market since it's shared with the RPHA 11 and 70.

Paid 65bux. The tear off nubs are huge and annoying but I replaced it with some smaller pinlock posts that I had lying around. It don't seal as good as the original visor so it lets in a smidge of wind noise but acceptable. The additional visor lock doesn't work (but still latches on fine so no issues)

Yes it is too dark at night. To note the finishing scratches easily and smudges very easily and a PITA to clean.

I also have the similarly coated Revo red clear visor but it's not usable at night, too much internal reflection.

I bought a whole set. The Revo red, chrome, light smoke, clear and Revo clear.

There is a bunch of local sellers selling the same visor, albeit a bit more expensive than china direct.

No distortion. The HJ 26 visor is pretty flat design so it's easy for even knock off visors to be distortion free. If I were to nit pick maybe clarity is not as good, but thats likely the coated finish compared to the clear factory visor

There is no discernable differences between the clear knock-off compared to the factory one....other than fitment tolerances and the annoying tear off nubs.

by the way, I had gone tested the HJC CS-15, but shop does not have XXL size and XL is too hard on my cheek.

Going to look for another shop that has XXL for testing.

Ok, mod done. Will share pic if you want to see how it's done.

Have to totally bury the speaker in and flush with the original foam level, even 1mm above the original level, it hits my head.

Means XL size is really wrapping my head in the right way but without pressure points.
