Omfg. I just bought a Vr2 Helmet from KBC and I've been having a horrible experence with it. So, I'm on the interstate about to get off and I turn my head to get into the other lane and my visor flys off. Half of it gets caught in my helmet and I grab it with my left hand. I pull off to the side with one hand because I'm holding my visor with the other. Well, since I can't pull in the clutch the bike startes kicking so I decide to hit the kill switch but it was too late. I droped my fing bike. GOD I SWEAR. I shoulda thrown the visor in the grass or something and stoped but all I had on my mind was "omg $300 helmet wtf". Now the mechanism that holds my visor in place is screwed up and I just used my BRAND NEW frame slider. god damn it.

 

damn that is not a good experience... I'd blame the helmet too... HJC/KBC pretty much the same things... but I like my HJC

 

did kbc ever do anything about this experience?

 

i had the same sort of thing happen to me with a kbc the ratchet broke and the visor was flapping in the wind at any sort of speed. i pulled into a gas station and bought some electrical tape. taped the visor in place and went home, when i got home i called KBC and told them what happened they sent me new ratchets at no cost. i have been very happy with kbc so far. dont e-mail them they will never get back to you.

that sux, but i never had any bad experiences with my KBCs that wasnt caused by sumtin I did like dropped em.

 

I got that gunslinger helmet. It is well made it seems, i like the removable padding. Aside from that it is a peice of ****. It whistles and is loud and i am so glad i only paid 70 dollars for it. I will be getting another helmet this summer and it is going to cost more than 350$. No more half *** helmets for me.
