The visor is NOT a quick-release type so those who do track days or carry a second visor (one for day, one for night) won't want this helmet. This is a road going helmet; if I decide to do track days I will have a helmet for that (likely Bell or Arai).

VERY SIMPLE proceedure and the Benley is helpful as well. See main section 7. This can be done in less than 5 minutes!

942 viewsNow, the regular install guide for the SC has you "cap off" the OEM cable. I decided to get rid of the OEM cable so I removed it from the harness. Here is the insulation removed from the OEM battery mount. I cut the big, black starter cable about 1/2" from the crimp and then re-wrapped the whole thing with the supplied heat shrink. This gave me a completely separate starter cable from the other electrical wiring.

917 viewsRemove the OEM cables. This is the cable from the starter relay to the starter. Mine was in really good condition for having over 16,000 miles on it. Even the starter post under the cable boot was clean!
