Qwest Enhanced Chin Curtain

Anybody replace the curtain that comes with the lid with another, more robust one? I like the helmet but I get quite a bit of draft - and associated noise - from below. Too warm for turtlenecks or neoprene...

Ideas? Experience?

Light leaks with Pinlock

Are most folks using the clear standard shield with the Pinlocker? How is the contrast between the two tints (unless you go clear-clear) in riding conditions?

I'm concerned about coverage around the edges 'flashing,' etc. Normally, I simply get a smoke shield, but the possibility of getting that same value with fog deterrent features using Pinlock sounds like a winner.

Okay, I'm a Dummie!

Pinlock, schminlock, I dunno! Will these cool anti-foggers fit my RF-1000 that I still use?

Thanks in advance!

Qwest Shoei Logo Removable?

Is the overly huge Shoei branding on the front of the helmet removable? I was able to take it off of my old RF1000 without a lot of fanfare, but this looks to be 'captured' onto the helmet. I love Shoei's products but the branding is excessive IMHO. Maybe not enough to chose another helmet - as I have a 'Shoei Head' - but I am put off by the size and location of it, especially if it is integral to the helmet.
