Good info to know. I was looking for a "transition" Pinlock Lens Insert but it does not seem to be available. That's why I have the outside Pro-Shade on my Corsair. However, I have since tried-on the AGV K5 and it's just as comfortable as my Arai and it has an interior sun shield that's great for street riding. To my surprise, it feels as light or lighter than my Corsair V and looks better also. I can't comment on its sound suppression yet but suspect it will be much quieter than my Corsair.I got the photochromatic shield for it also. It's really cool how it darkens as it's exposed to sun and clears back up when there isn't sun. For bright sun you definitely also need sunglasses. But I'm really enjoying it so far
I agree but as Avigil mentioned it's still not the best solution until those photochromatic shields goes from totally clear to very dark. IMHO, if cost is not an issue, it's best to have one helmet for the street which has a built-in dark retractable screen (among other road worthy features) and another helmet for the track. Changing shields can be a PITA and can also be a safety issue if you're caught riding with the wrong shield because you did not carry the opposite shade.Need to get one of those photochromatic shields for my Suomy apex so I don't have to change the visor between night and day riding.
On the street I use a Suomy SpecR Gambler which I love... For racing CCS I use a Shoei RF, only because I needed a lid with a newer born on date.. The shoei lid IMHO sucks ***... it is loud!! even with ear plugs on.
Their Vandal model is way easier to swap out visors.Probably need to at some point. It's a PITA to change out the visor. Probably another Suomy since it's the only one that fits my oddly shaped head.

I'm a big fan of Arai. I ordered the Corsair X as well coming of the V which was a bit of a tight fit front to back. Looking forward to the X as they addressed this. Any thoughts on the X yet?I got my new lid today!
