Once again, I pinged off the little black visor thing on my arai helmet today. I can't seem to find them as spares online. Now I've got 2 visors with missing locks in an otherwise useable condition.
It seems like a weak design. I might try a different helmet manufacturer next time.

Find the Arai tent at a local bike shop. I have a shoei head, but I know Arai do repairs if you can find them.

Worst design ever.
Stupid, noisy and weak.
There's a reason they fix them FoC at events!

My 2 Dainese never gave me an issue and the 3 Schuberths are without a doubt the best helmets I've had in over 35yrs of riding.

The wee thing at the bottom to clamp the visor shut? I had no idea anyone actually uses that.

Always found Arai customer service really good tbh... I decided to replace a hammered old Arai (can't remember the model) with an Astro R and then just for lolz sent the old one in for testing. it came back not just with a certificate of approval, which surprised me, but cleaned inside and out, with a new strap and all the removable pads replaced, and the paintwork nicely touched up. All for free. OTOH I'd already replaced it because I thought it was dead so that was all a bit wasted but still, good chaps.
