[QUOTE="LKLD, post: 1288480, member: 30221"] After 3+ yrs with my Arai Signet-Q, I've made the switch to the Shoei RF-1200 Beacon. The Arai fit perfectly, but I've tired of the faceshield changes, which are frustrating at best. Sometimes I would switch them out in 20 seconds, then other times it could be 3 minutes. I never could get consistent. Also, the cheek pads drove me up the wall with their 'wedge it in there' design. Having the snaps in the Shoei makes taking them out for washing a breeze. An added benefit, I just found out, is the sound coming from my Sena SMH-10. Fu#% me! The volume goes to extremely loud now, as opposed to just audible in my Arai at 70mph. This means no more getting down below my windshield to hear what my wife is saying to me from her bike. I'm really excited about this revelation! And....being as I'm a hi-viz kinda' guy, the Shoei Beacon looks razor sharp (ymmv). I'm a happy man. :) [URL="https://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/LKLD/moto/image.jpg1_zpsumzeemfl.jpg"]https://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/LKLD/moto/image.jpg1_zpsumzeemfl.jpg[/URL] [URL="https://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/LKLD/moto/image.jpg2_zpspsrkvlgh.jpg"]https://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q36/LKLD/moto/image.jpg2_zpspsrkvlgh.jpg[/URL] [/QUOTE]
