Shoei Hornet DS Helmet - 4X-Large/Black Review

It's everything I looked for.Great fit, Very nice face shield, seals great, has high quality feel and several detents for partially open, etc.Visor is a touch shorter than a full off road MX style helmet, which is good at road speeds.Up to 60 mph or so...buffeting is not bad.Faster, I would say be careful.Any visor is gonna start to pull your head around as the wind picks up...but yes...visor is worth having, really blocks the low sun morning/eve.Fogging is very minimal except when I rode a few times at 35 degrees out, even then, only when stopped.

For Dual Sport riders, this is a great helmet. I hated to pay 400 bucks for it but did and am very glad.The cheekpads are removable and for 40 bucks, you can get thinner/thicker ones for a PERFECT feel.

What pushed me over the edge to buy was the feel, specifically...large ear pockets inside this helmet=NO crushed ears.I hate that!

The only real quality competitor to this model is the Arai XD, which is also a very nice helmet, fit, etc. BUT...visor is longer and I bet grabs more air=more wind buffeting on the street. For buzzing around town either would be good though. I did try both the Shoei and Arai on, then settled on the Shoei becuase of price and the shorter visor.A bonus I did not expect but got with this, is MUCH more peripheral vision than any of my street helmets in the past!

Lastly, Simpson makes a helmet of this type but the quality is not up to par.I wanted to buy American but nothing about it matched the Arai or Shoei.Too bad.I used to buy only Simpson.

Bridgestone S11 Spitfire Sport Touring Blackwall Front Tire - 110/90H-18/-- Review

I have ridden on this tire for about 1000 miles so far and I like it. An improvement over the Dunlop 404 that was on the front. I mounted and balanced it myself with a couple of tire irons and some stick on weights. I also used a new valve stem. It only took two small weights to balance it out. Ride is smooth and handling is very sure. Very predictable in the turns. Seems ok on rain grooves, better than the Dunlop anyway. Wet roads are no problem so far. I ride about 1000 miles a month, and will try to update this review as I put more miles on the tire. I am running a Dunlop Elite II on the back that is still doing well with 10,000 miles on it, but will probably replace it with an S11 Spitfire when it wears out. BTW I ride a 1983 Honda GL650I Silverwing.
