Sent it back and ordered the SWMotech setup...SO much more robust mounting system. I like the Givi bags, but that mounting is a joke. I would say the opposite. Had a Cortech tank lock system. It was okay, nothing great. I don't care for the SW-Motech system with the little pull tab. In the hundreds for fuel ups with the Tanklock system, I've never had an issue, and I've never had the bag even come loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Ended up going with these in reflective blue from shine graffix. Motoinkz never answered my email asking about reflectivity. If I could have found a company that didn't intentionally misspell their name, I would have chosen them on that merit alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Mac Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Zig Zagged south to Oak Hill on the Z1K with the wife from Hocking Hills. Picked up 93S to Ironton. Had lunch at Wild Wings. Then hit 141N-Ironton to Gallipolis. Road 160N to 324W to 93N back home. 285 Miles. Great day, not too shabby road choices.

motocat12 Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Helmet sized brown box was on the porch when I got home. Too early and light to be the helmet I ordered. No it's not. 1400g carbon helmet with sunvisor and quick release. I pulled the emblems off my old helmets when realized how un-aerodynamic a 4mm high "S" on the forehead is. The 2nd one weighed as much as 2 quarters of extra top heavy weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motocat12 Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) Vega f117 $90 4 Star crash rating also called hd117 in the uk The torch grafixx one is clear coat carbon on the black parts. bonus!

Steve Butters Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Fuck Vega. I literally busted the shell on one during a 5-10mph collision hitting my head on a Boulder... I guess it did its job, but I'd have been fucked at any kind of speed... The shell cracked and the visor busted off and I gotta say it was one of the least bad collisions I've had.. I smacked my bell star twice as hard on the ground and it barely scratched.... When I worked at Iron pony I wouldn't even sell Vegas to people... Be careful with that thing, a lightweight Vega seems like it'd be worse off than the regular... There's a reason they're so cheap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Yeah, I don't think the quality is really going to be there for a $90 CF helmet. Something smells fishy there, carbon fiber is an expensive and laborious process. Is it Snell or DOT approved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Theyre still rolling with blue and red flames... The one I ruined was chrome was red flames on it... I'm sure anyone who's visited IP in the last 10 years knows it lol they had hundreds on closeout at all times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motocat12 Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) this one is $300 retail, 4 star crash rating, DOT and EC approved (sunvisors and quick strap exclude snell). AGV has some that are 3 star. My scorpion is 4 star with lower forehead hit score. I tried on A LOT of helmets. Only a few models fit adequately. I also ride bicycles those helmets that are all styrofoam and a hand ripable cover of lexan. Edited June 9, 2018 by motocat12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted June 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 I've never been impressed with Vega quality. Fit and finish has always been sub-par. I haven't seen this helmet in person, so maybe they've changed. At that price, I'd be shocked though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durk Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Rode some West Virginia roads today. 88S to 250S to 7W. 88 was a bit dirty from pipeline work primarily I believe. 250 had a couple 1 lane traffic light deals and some rough patches, but pretty decent overall. It was the least amount of gravel I’ve seen on 250 in a long time. 7 was in great shape. They repaved the area with the 1 lane bridges. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
