It's usually not something to praise but these tires are really goodlooking on my bike. Immediately I noticed the grippy feel, That feel through the bike and the surefooted hold in those 45 degree sweeping turns just insoire the confidence to go ahead and zoom the corners I like them so much that I have them on my 2002 VT750DC Shadow Spirit and my 1989 750 Virago Custom. Take from a former Avon devote, Buy these Pirelli's

Nolan N104 Helmet - Solid Colors Nolan N104 Helmets represent an evolutionary step for Nolan as they replace the much touted N103 Helmet. When compared the older N103, the Nolan N104 Helmet offers a helmet which is much lighter (7oz), features a lower profile through the use of multiple shell sizes, better aerodynamics, as well as a much larger viewport for increased visibility. The (patented) chin guard rotation movement with elliptical trajectory makes it possible to keep the total size of the helmet's front section to a minimum, when the chin guard is open. The sail effect is consequently highly reduced and riding comfort is still guaranteed, even when the chin guard is lifted. The new ultrawide eyeport is the largest of any Nolan helmet, both vertically and laterally for maximum field of view. The AIRBOOSTER ventilation system is equipped with an air intake in the chin bar, another intake in the brow and two rear extractors at the rear. The inner comfort lining includes removable cheekpads, inner liner, neckroll and chin curtain and is easily removable and washable as well as antifungal and antibacterial. New, redesigned comfort liner also accommodates eyeglasses much more easily than before. All Nolan N104 helmets are also N-COM B4 ready ( N-COM B4 is designed expressly for the N104 and is sold separately). Shell Features Injected polycarbonate GE Lexan shell 7oz lighter than the Nolan N103 Two Shell engineering allows Nolan N104 to offer sizes from 2XS to 3XL (2XS-LG and XL-3XL) Dimensionally correct sizing allows ample cubic volume in chin/nose area Faceshield Features Face shields are now sized to fit the two different shell sizes (2XS-LG and XL-3XL) Ultra wide eye port opening is the largest on any Nolan helmet for superior visibility Shield is changed by a simple push button mechanism Pinlock shield included with each helmet VPS (Vision Protection System) is new slider bar to lower, push button release for instant retraction VPS lens is scratch and fog resistant Chin Bar Features Centromatic chin guard opening mechanism requires dual action, simultaneous action to prevent accidental opening Dual action opening mechanism is positioned in the centre of the chin guard and allows for easy, one-handed opening Ventilation N104 has new AIRBOOSTER ventilation system, ensures optimal ventilation where is is most required Air intake in the chin guard draws air in and onto the inside of the faceshield 3 position top vent (closed, crown vent, crown/brow vent) 2 venturi exhaust ports at rear of helmet New plastic vent tube channels in EPS disperse cool air throughout the helmet interior Inner Liner Features removable cheek pads, inner liner, neck roll and wind protector The inner padding of the new N104 is easily removable and washable and antibacterial The shape of the inner comfort padding facilitates eyeglass wearing Reflective insert at the centre of the roll neck further improves the rider's visibility at night Neck roll can be removed easily, for more comfort in the warmer months Other Features N-Com Communication System compatible (sold separately) Features new Microlock2 quick-release retention system Microlock2 consists of a plastic ergonomic opening lever, and of a second aluminium toothed and holding lever Microlock2 minimizes the possibility of unintentional opening while still making it ergonomic and easy to use Meets or exceeds D.O.T. standards

I've had many helmets, and the Nolan 104 is by far the quietest. The drop down visor is just right, even the tinting is acceptable. The instant noise reuction when the face shield ios in place and the vents are closed is astonishing. With the vents open there's noticable wind noise but not anythiong like most every other modular I've owned.
Chin strap fits a bit tight, and takes getting used to. The cheekpads seem to be conforming to my head shape after about 2 and half weeks, so it fits much better now. Some of the trim along the bottum occasionally comes free of the snap holes but nothing to be concerned over. Way more visual area allows me to turn my head instead of cranking my shoulders around to check the blind spot for lane changes. Looking forward to the oinlock setup this winter.

Noise Levels

With the redesign and all of the air-flow channels of the new N104 helmet, is this helmet noisier than the N103? I hope that it is substantially quieter as I found the N103 relatively noisy. Also, it seems that the N104 is trying to make a run at the schuberth C3 helmet. How well does it stack-up?. Thank you.
Noise wa/is very important to me like everyone else. The Nolan 104 is quiet, so much so that my 300 watt speakers on the handlebars are useles above about 40 mph. I can tell music is playing but I miss the majority of the particulars. Helmet speakers are a definate must if like to ride with music.

Between the Nolan 104 and the Shoei NeoTec which has the better internal air flow?

Shoie claims to have unsurpassed air flow, and the Shoie reputation is believeable. The air flow of the Noo;an 104 is outstanding, I can rtestify first hand. This summers temperatures have hit 107 degrees. My head didn't sweat but my body certainly did.

I wear an XL in the Nolan N90 helmet. Is the fit of the Nolan 104 close enough to the N90 that I can feel safe in ordering an XL.

The helmet fit tight on me at first but after 2 weeks of everyday use it conformed to my skull shape and now fits comfortably. It's still snug but I hate a helmet that can jiggle around.

What head shape will this helmet fit?

More round than oval. BUT I wear mine everyday so it took about 2 weeks for the liners to sort of assume the shape of my noggin.
