Default Cure For The Cold (helmet mod for the foggy visor)

:::Im having a problem with my connection to photobucket, i dont know it the pictures are showing so if they arent, sorry. ill fix it later when i get a better connection...:::

as many of you know, it sucks riding in the cold especially when you need to keep your visor cracked to help with the fogging up. the snow mobile version of the scorpion helmets come with 2 things that set them apart from the normal version. 1) a double pane visor that screws up the arrow dynamics (BAD) and looks hella ugly. 2) a breath guard that comes up over the nose and actually makes contact with your face. its got a flexible metal thingy to fit around your nose no matter how wide or skinny it is.

i removed the breath guard from the original helmet and placed it in my KBC

PERFECT FIT!










sweet more icons are back!

I love your helmet, I almost bought it in the chrome. Where did you get it in the white though and how much?

Is there a way I can order that nose piece from somewhere?

I used to use the same. But it tickles the bridge of my nose when riding.

this is the new version from scorpion. keep on mind its made for a scorpion helmet but then again mine was made for one too... its $10 and looks to be the same as the one i have with the addition of the cloth that hangs back over you neck. ive been riding with mine for the last couple days and is amazing! no fog what so ever! even with all my vents closed cruzing at low speeds.
