Arai Condor Solutions

[Dave78]

MrsDave has got a Arai Condor Lid, which is is mostly very happy with..

However having spent the last few weeks riding around cones (getting confidence back up from her off), she is now going out on the back on my bike to get so experience of on the road, at faster speeds to see that those bumps in the road and leaning are all normal and nothing to be worried about..

Anyway, she is finding that the wind is rushing up into her lid by her chin, then straight up past her nose/face and she is getting headaches after about 5-10 mins on the bike, as where just riding around cones she can go for hours.. We have tried a buff to cover her chin etc.. but this is stil leaving a gap

Prior to this lid, she had a Nolan which had like a chin wind deflector and a breath deflector, which sort of filled in that area nicely and she never had this problem, both as rider and pillion.. Therefore I'm trying to find out if these are available for the arai, or if there is anything else she can try... My suggestion of growing a big bushy beard didn't go down very well


Cheers all

You should find that a Shoei Chin Curtain will fit SWMBO's Arai.....

As well as having one in my Shoei Hornet, I've also got ones fitted to my Arai Tour X and my Arai Signet.

There's also an Arai Race Breath Guard to cover her nose and help prevent her visor misting....

A lot of people find that their Condor's are v v noisey. Me too.
I would not buy another. And yes I do know they are discontinued.

Mrs Longdog also gets a breeze up into her Shark helmet, (or "hat" as she affectionately calls it), I suspect it may just be a pillion thing. Or then again, I may be wrong.

I have just spoken to SWMBO, and been informed that it never used to happen with her Nolan.. and we prob did about 2000 miles last year with her as pillion.. Oh hum..
