Josafoot Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 So I have my helmet nearly there. Just a few questions about how/if the visor should be attached. Currently, the visor is attached through the elevator screws and just happens to sit over the face plate and helmet. If I were to lift on the visor, the visor (alone) would go up while the face plate remains mostly in place. Is this the correct way? Should I attach the visor to the face plate some where else? Also, how does one keep the face plate flush to the main helmet assembly? It seems like it wants to float there more than stay flush.

Pandatrooper Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 The face mask portion is attached to the flip up visor. It's usually glued at the sides. The 3m bolts have square bevels at the base, which helps to leverage both pieces together. See original pics http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?app=gallery&album=145 The helmet sides originally had bumps on the inside that snapped against protrusions on the inside of the visor. This would help hold it up or down. Tension tightening the nuts on the visor bolts helps too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see where the visor should/would be glued to the face mask (visa versa) Got a magnetic closure in mine. Love it. I was looking into using magnets to close it. I assume there is a tutorial on here somewhere? I was looking at using magnets but I am not sure how to keep a gap from forming. Hey there Josafoot!
