j0hn Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Got the Acerbis Active Dual Sport yesterday for £124.99. Had to find a new place to mount the camera because the elongated chin took over most of the left side. New placement on top seems much better, was waiting for the mount to dry in and going to give it a test today . The helmet also comes with a nice interior sun visor!
Moderator DirtyDT Posted April 13, 2013 Moderator Posted April 13, 2013 Just a note to say that people should be careful of using certain paints, glues, solvents etc on helmets as some will react to chemicals and it will ruin the integrity of the helmet. You may not find this out until the helmet is subject to the stress of an accident.
j0hn Posted April 13, 2013 Author Posted April 13, 2013 Good advice but these use 3M adhesive pads (manufacture supplied) and is the same type supplied by all the major companies such as GoPro and Drift. No doubt these companies and in particular 3M would be subject to law suits if they are supplying products to the end user that haven't been through rigorous safety testing and extensive research and development. If you are talking about the average super glue then yea, you'd be doing something wrong there.

j0hn Posted April 13, 2013 Author Posted April 13, 2013 Oh it's amazing how much more I can see with this dual sport helmet compared to my previous.
Grouch Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Nice, were you using an mx lid? When the weather gets better I will be reverting back to my mx lid and oakleys.
Moderator Airhead Posted April 14, 2013 Moderator Posted April 14, 2013 That looks great John and sun visor is a big bonus
j0hn Posted April 14, 2013 Author Posted April 14, 2013 I was using a full-face helmet (Duchinni D839) before, Grouch. I did end up fighting the wind a few times with this new helmet though. Thanks Airhead, I wouldn't buy a helmet without a built in sun visor. I noticed I've been getting more attention during my rides. Might be down to the camera being more visible now and everybody wants to get in the shot lol .
j0hn Posted June 9, 2013 Author Posted June 9, 2013 Yea, it should be solid proof for insurance claims if the worst were to happen. Other than that, it's mostly just looking back at funny shit I come across during my commute.
