    Arai Corsair V Dark Smoke shield

    Apparently the RX7 corsair shields (of which I have 6) don't fit on my new Corsair V.

    Anyone have a dark smoke they don't need that I can have? I can give you some cash too... I'm guessing Miles will charge an arm and a leg.

    I just bought a generic brand mirror visor on eBay for my new helmet for $25.

    Did the same thing on the last helmet, since the RX-Q doesn't have a mirror visor option.

    Unfortunately I didn't have time to do that so I had to buy a real arai one from miles at the track for 50 bucks... ouch.

    Maybe I'll grab a mirror one too now unless you have an extra

    Linky?

    I'm looking for a tinted shield for my Arai Vector (NOT Vector 2)

    Re: Arai Corsair V Dark Smoke shield

    How is the fit and finish on these eBay shields? Are the silver or gold shields darker or lighter when looking through them than dark smoke?

    My eBay is broke... no results.

    Found a bunch of cheap shields for RX-Q or Vector 2... but can only find the OEM $50 shields for the older models (Vector).

    Re: Arai Corsair V Dark Smoke shield

    So I've read some of these aftermarket shields fit really tight, almost too tight. Also where the tab locked the shield down, its tight and it's hard to lock it close or pop it back open. Have you guys experienced this?

    I'm talking specifically about the RX-Q BTW

    Would you say its tight enough to wear out the gasket/seal, mechanism in the pod or the locking mechanism tab prematurely?

    Re: Arai Corsair V Dark Smoke shield

    i race with it, and used one in my last RX-Q for a full season.
    i dont see it causing any defects to the helmet, but i dont move my visor as much as you might for a street bike

    Can you point me to where you bought it? Since there's no branding it's hard to identify what factory actually made it so the next best thing is to buy it from the same store.
