My Roof lid has expired its time, its showing wear and tear and I need a new lid. I look round and only ever see the same things over and over and I'm just not into superbike style multi coloured tribal styled, nor do I want a plain black, silver or white sensible thing. I love my roof daytona, black with twin white stripes front to back, i want something similar - any ideas???

I saw one fly by at the weekend, very similar but with silver stripes, don't suppose anyone knows what it was do they?

Dave I think the AGV B2 Balli from the second site referred to above would definately suit you sir

It has stripes :)

ooh that might be the black and silver one I saw, but having had yet another look I've spotted on I hadn't seen before, gotta find a dealers to make sure my head fits and if so I'll be saving for a looooooong time. But just look at it.

Has your head got thinner after all those hours at the gym?

Saz & I both have AGV Ti-Techs brilliant lid.

I have just got an Arai Viper - very nice lid. The Red 'Banda' scheme matches Ducati red as well as having plenty of white for visibility. The pinlock visor thingy is genius.

i just went to try one on, when i saw it in the flesh I loved the sides but hated the nasty decal on top that stops suddenly just over the crest. The fit was good but my nose rubbed the vent thing on the front so a no no for me.

Nonnie - ha ha. No!

Eight posts with a title like that and not a rude one in sight. Very disappointing....:chuckle:

If an Arai didn't fit comfortably, go to your local dealer and try a Shoei on,
most people are one shape or the other... then buy it mail order from racevisors.co.uk

Saw these in Ride magazine this week and I'm actually thinking of shelling out for one, purely based on looks. I can't comment on performance or fit I'm afraid.
