Question 2 ?'s 4 U!!!

Hey guys(and girls) i have 2 questions.First , its about my arai helmet. I have a discontinued Signet/s helmet which is great and all(it cost $700 so it better be great) but the visors are EXPENSIVE!! Im looking at $50-$100 per visor.WOW. but anyways, i was searching and i see that many arai visors are focused on the Rx series and Corsair etc, but when i see their visor and my visor which also fits in models such as signet/gt and fv, they look exactly alike. I was wondering what the difference was and if i buy it will it fit, cause it cost alot so i dont want to go through all the fuss that it wont fit and trying to return blah blah.
And my 2 question was, have any of you f4i riders ever came close or even beat a hayabusa 1300. I know, its impossible, but hey maybe the rider was unexperienced(which prob doesnt count) or maybe you had an advantage somehow.Thanks fellas!!!(Im sorry i got a little off topic with helmet question).

#1...I don't really know an answer for you

#2...I highly doubt would happen, due to having less than half the motor. The busa would almost have to be having motor issues and an inexperienced rider and it would almost need to be on a very windy road. I say that, because I think most people could be fast on a busa in a straight line.

Straight line speed no way an f4i could take a busa but start hitting the twisties and I could see see it happening. I know my buddy has an r1 and he kills me the straights but once we start hitten some cures I can keep up or past him. He gets so mad when I pass him through corners. Lol.

OP, racing has it's own section, and since the helmet question is OT, I'll just move this all to off topic.

As I recall, the Corsair visors won't fit the Signet series - I had a similar question about my Quantum 2 and the Signet series don't fit that. They may look the same but there are differences (small) that you won't see until you try to fit them - it's all in the mounting points and slides in the side pods.
Buy the right one for a Signet, and you'll be fine. Anything else, well..................I wouldn't. It could be an expensive mistake. Sometimes you can pick up bargain visors on www.e-Bay.uk especially if it's a discontinued model. Shop around and don't get taken......
I'll see what I can find that WILL fit a Signet.

This site will show you what will fit and prices
Go to the Arai website and have a look for yourself.

Hope this helps
