Oh, wait... That's it... Darth Smoother! LOL I love it. Impressive, most impressive! I could actually do the first picture - THE WHOLE THING!! lol I purchased a Bell Annex Shield. The top vents can are adjustable so when it's windy/cold/raining they can be closed. The "shield" can be raised or lowered and is great when it's raining or when riding around bodies of water where they may be lots of midges. I also like that it doesn't interfere with my bone conduction headset so I can still listen to my music while being alert to everything around me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL As much as I'd like to see video too firstly the helmet isn't the best to see out of, safety first, and secondly the cape is quite long and could catch in the Monsters wheel (have you seen The Incredibles & what happens to those with capes?!? - No capes darling!) unless I get someone to hold it out until I set off and it can flow. A mud guard would be easier & better alas, there isn't one yet. Hmmmm. MAYBE next year when it gets warmer and more importantly - dry - I'll give it a try lol I'll do the full setup inc the voice changer/breather, music & saber!

Smoother Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) Here is the uk Amazon link to the goggles I chose. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XV9N6MK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 i also bought the yellow lenses as these silver ones cut a lot of light, and it winter here, so mostly gloomy, but these are big enough to fit glasses/sunglasses inside, so very accommodating. Changing lenses is a bit of a faff. If I had to do it again, I might go for the magnetic lens brand, but I think they were quite pricey. Also a bit concerned that the lens would pop out on a hard impact. Well it turns out the magnetic lens goggles are cheaper. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B074V61P5Z?ref_=ams_ad_dp_ovrl doh!

Popular Post OUNCESMUSIC Posted December 30, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2017 I picked this up a while back but haven't worn it yet from not having a fast enough wheel to do so. And it's hard because I was planning on a new wheel for summer and the Tesla would match so well but I really want the Monster. I have some left over matte black vinyl i used on my current wheel I might use to wrap the monster. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think , however it might clash with the plaid shirt. In that picture you look like a storm trooper on his day off. Thats the problem with these all out helmets, the rest of the outfit needs to match the mood being portrayed. Imagine that helmet, or my helmet, , with a Santa suit. Yeah, weird is it.

OUNCESMUSIC Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) The helmet is DOT and only a 3/4 I believe because those other pieces are snap on. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/scorpion-covert-helmet I agree about the storm trooper look (just seen they have a white version now), and by the way that's a stock product photo, not me. If i put that on I become someone else . I'd definitely dress the part when it comes to matching ride gear. That plaid shirt is another one of their products, with kevlar for slides and spots for padding. Part of their covert series I believe. I usually wear all black and put lights(rear/safety) on myself.

LanghamP Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 You need the eps lined chin bar in a crash, or otherwise you get the protection of just a bicycle helmet. If you're going light go with a bicycle helmet otherwise go heavy with a proper full face helmet that has the closed visor system. Why is this so hard to comprehend? All these half assed solutions of lighter dirt bike style helmets require extra time putting on goggles and still don't give you the protection of a proper sport bike helmet. Which is also way cheaper. Better protection, cheaper, and doesn't have the ineffecient angles of Darth Vader helmets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those look like Demon Flexmeters peeking out from underneath those sleeves! https://demonsnow.com/store/Flexmeter wrist guard They could also be the double-sided variety; https://demonsnow.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=337 Edited February 23, 2018 by dbfrese 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimB Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Yes, looks like the double. That's what I wear. Highly recommended. https://demonsnow.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=337 I got mine when they were on sale at REI. But you can find them on Amazon and elsewhere. These provide so much more security than some of the cheap wrist guards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoother Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Yep, all answers are correct. They are a flipping pain to put on under that jacket, and take off too.
