I bought an AGV sv last year and hate it, not a bad lid but noisy as hell and whistles round the visor

nice looking lid! have just had a look on gearchange site and that ones not shown.
Have you been to gearchange? they're pretty helpful and if they've got it in they usually knock a bit off the price. Just got some leathers,boots etc from there and they did me a good deal.
But if they haven't got it :smt017
You could maybe do with an Italian bike to go with that lid tho'

I have an old AGV and yes, it's always been noisy - I thought that was cos it was a cheap one!

Yes i have been in gear change "And very nice she is" :smt112
Oops wrong answer. Yes i bought my back protector from there. I have been in doncaster today to j and s and they have some nice italian design helmets in there. One was 450 quid which was very nice but too much money for me. I quite like the look of the scorpian helmets and they fit very nice and have a 5 star safety rating but the colours although italian flag colours look "flat" if that makes sense :smt017
j and s are going to make enquirys on price and availability of the AGV on ebay :smt003

How much would it be to get a lid painted now?
You could have it exactly how you wanted it then.

Getting lids painted is around the £300+ sort of area...

....

a helmet is a form of hat isn't it?


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
