Utinni534 Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 Okay, finally got around to spray painting the interior so it's black, have a set of bars from Walt that are substantially bigger than the KS ones, would they still be acceptable?

Chopper Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Should be okay for basic at minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aradun Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 A small file should do the trick and will allow you more control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utinni534 Posted July 29, 2023 Author Share Posted July 29, 2023 Replaced the KS bars with Walts since they were all but destroyed since I apparently have very strong fingernails, but the whole helmet still almost looks like, wonky, and I'm really not sure at this point what's wrong with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 You need to trim the visor some more and get rid of the excess plastic. The Lexan scissors will help you do that. You want it looking more like this: I would start with that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrofire Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I would take a little more off the sides and the top to get it closer to the picture Mickey posted earlier. Just take it in small steps. Material is easy to remove but hard to put back😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utinni534 Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 Okay, ended up doing a lot of fiddling, and got it to work I hope well enough for approval Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 My only concern would be what looks like a large print line or diagonal bump on the top portion of your snout piece. Your GML may flag that as something that needs to be addressed for basic approval. I recommend shooting that pic to your GML now, to see if it will be an issue, rather than suiting up and then dealing with a delay in getting approved.

Yeah I realized that after I glued it on, might see if I can play with it a bit with a file instead of having to bust out the dremel again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
