AGV Dual-Sport lid

Touratech USA just linked to this on Twitter.
Interesting. Mate has the road lid, which he loves and looks great to me.
Issue I have, as a goggle-wearer, is it looks in the later pix like the goggle straps will move about as there are no guide/holder bits - it's not flat there.

You could just fit a Quickstrap - http://www.dirtbikebitz.com/quickstrap-p-2097.html

...Similar.

It's an AGV MTX and my goggles fit just fine, even at motorway speeds.

I drilled the peak because it created too much helmet lift:

My MotoX googles fit the aperture perfectly:

I think it was £140 from Hein Gericke but had to order one in, the shell appears to be large and I had to modify the internal packing because it was creating pressure on my forehead.

I'd suggest you try before you buy.

Quick strap loos good. I run an £80 Thor MX lid, replete in hideous RockStar Energy Drink decals, which I love to death. I always ride with plugs anyway, even in a FF, so it's pretty quiet too.
Problem's the winter - when the rain smashes your nose off and the cotton neckie you use soaks so full of water you can't breathe through it! So thinking about a dual sport lid.
Schtum - those look like the answer, thanks.
DitchWater - love the drilled peak. Did it catch more air than usual? Mine's surprisingly good like that, for a propoh mx lid.

A) Have you seen this thread? - http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=541419

I've done this mod to my Shoei Hornet and it works with goggles to give you complete coverage of your face.

B) Get rid of your cotton "neckie" and get something in a modern man-made fibre, eg microfleece or something similar.

There are no securing points on my Tour-X but I've never had a problem with my goggles at motorway speed

I rarely wear them now though as I've discovered wind blocking sunglasses with flexible arms and interchangeable lenses. That way I can have black, clear or yellow lenses and still use the visor if I want




P.S. that new helmet looks , how much is it?

You can still use the visor on both a Tour X and a Hornet when you're wearing goggles.

You can't shut the visor with the goggles on though, and that's normally what you need a visor for.

I ride with the visor up and glasses on 80% of the time. I just shut the visor if I exceed 70 ish or if I hit a shower or a cloud of bugs

Who can't....? I can and do with both my Tour X and Hornet. It offers a good range of options. Dark visor on the Tour X with clear goggles underneath for example. Great if a days ride involves both brilliant sunshine and dark, single-track roads.

I ride with goggles with RX prescription inserts almost all the time and in torrential rain, close the visor, if necessary.
