    Arai Helmet Service/Repair

    Anyone know who/where services Arai Lids?

    I had something of a head/tree interface at the Ady Smith Enduro School at the weekend and sheared off a couple of the plastic screws that hold the peak on. Might be more damage too but I haven't cleaned it yet and cant see through the mud!

    What a blast!

    You might want to find a good landscaper too after the carnage you created in that farmers hedge!

    Send it back to Arai - Phoenix distribution, they will check the lid & tell you if the shell is safe to reuse, they will repair/replace broken bits for & I believe they will touch up paint if requested.
    These guys are true experts and only charge for the parts used.

    You can also find an Arai service tent at some larger bike shows like the BMF Peterborough.
    Visiting a service department will mean they will also check the lid for fit and perfect it, again for free.

    Basically with an Arai you get a free lifetime guarantee

    My own lid, a Quantum F is 9 years old, bought in Japan & is 3rd hand (to me), no hastles, they checked it over, gave the previous damage a clean bill of health, added a little foam to the cheek pads, fitted a fog city insert, lubed the visor seal, checked the visor mechanism, looked at the date on the chin strap said it's getting on a bit but should be good for another 3 or 4 years!
    All for the cost of the visor insert.
    Oh, and if I sent it back to Phoenix distribution they'd touch up the paint and tidy the chin strap where the webbing is starting to go fluffy!

    All this with a full, friendly explanation of what they were doing & why.

    These Guys are the Biz

    Yeah....

    Robster was officially declared Out of Control at the Ady Smith Enduro School....

    He also declared he was 'tossed off' but I'm sure in an innocent context...

    I'm going on a trip!
