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

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
You could maybe do with an Italian bike to go with that lid tho'

I don't care if you lick windows,
Take the special bus
Or occasionally pee on yourself.

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"
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

j and s are going to make enquirys on price and availability of the AGV on ebay

Tolerance will be our undoing.

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

.... or you could go to see Nooj and buy one of his see-where-you've-been helmets

Guess you were talking about the blonde who used to work in Virgin records on the high street many moons ago. must have been an easy job cos she's definitely worn well

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

I'd want it to come with a free bike for that much.

....
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...
