wowowo , just released i got upgraded from newbie to warming up with a little yellow face icon too.

2 years and 40,000k was enough to stretch my KBC until I needed a balaclava just so it didn't move when riding.

I got a ShoeiXR-1000 discounted and it feels so much lighter and more comfortable. It also has a higher cutout at the back, so I can lift my head more. I couldn't be happier with it

what annoys me about my KBC is the fact it has a hair scrunchie to hold the exess chin strap instead of a pop clip (like my old AGV). now my TK-8 is 2 years old and done 10ish trackdays + everyday 80k trip to work and the chin strap flaps around slapping the side helmet and my neck and when it connects real good, it stings like buggery.

Mitch i have the same thing on my KBC

it's a 2 year old TK-8 too, even though i only use it at night time now

My VR1 has a clip at the end of the strap that connects just above the d rings. Problem solved.

VR1 is a great helmet for the money.

i tried on several other more expensive helmets and they didn't fit me like the VR1 does. some of the $1000+ helmets were good, but for 1/3 of the price i'd rather go the kbc.

I have a Racer1 Blue Comet! Great helmet & HEAPS better than my AGV Argon.

If I could afford an Arai I would have one, My mx helmet is an Arai & cost me $490 in 1994, it is extremely light & copped a flogging in my younger days & still saved the small amount of brains that I had.
