Shoei Rj-101v

[mik60ish]

Shoei RJ-101V Iv'e had this helmet some years now and the foam in the top of the helmet, is disentegrating everytime I remove the helmet I have all these bits of the old foam in my hair looked on the Shoei website but can't see any spares, just wondering if any one has had this problem or I just stick some more foam in there or is this a no no as regards safety. I don't really want to renew the helmet as its as good as new!

if you've had the helmet for some years and the foam is disintegrating, then it is NOT good as new. The outside shell may be scratch free, but the condition on the inside is just as, if not more, important in protecting your napper in a fall.

Get a new helmet.

yep the foam in the helmet is supost to be a schock adsorber in a crash it is to stop your brain from getting scrambled in ur skull if it is disintergrating get rid buy a new helmet

Now you two , if you read as it as i read it Mick said the 'foam'. !! Which is part of the lining, trim. The material to protect yer bonce is polysterene!!

Not too sure mick , i have wanted spares for various helmets new vents etc , but no joy. I even spoke to hebo direct about some vents but was told to buy a new lid!!

I needed a completely new inner for a mate of mines hebo who had singed it!! (dont ask) and the only ones who could help me were www.haven-trialsport.co.uk

They may be worth a ring as they gave me the new inners of a damaged lid.

mark.

mm, just noticed that you are in NZ , try i yer local dealer , or try shoei and see what they say. If it is me who has got i wrong and you do mean the protective polystyrene , get rid and save yer swede !!
