Thanks!!! Once done, Iテつエll post the result!

Re: How to shape a visor...

You will want to remove the protective film before doing anything.... Correct me if I am wrong, but that appears to be a red visor from FP. If it is, you can put it in some hot water to gently shape it. I wouldn't recommend leaving it too long as it can become too soft to mould properly. You will a...

Re: How to shape a visor...

A lot will depend on the materials you are using. If you can post up what you are working with and such, we can probably help you out more than just taking random stabs in the dark at possible solutions. Thanks for your answer. I show you a photo. Itテつエs plastic, and I can bend it. It still has a pr...

How to shape a visor...

Hi!!!

After reading some posts, I haven't come across any information about shaping a visor. Some weeks ago I found somebody who used hot water to do that, but I cannot find it now.

Can you give me some information?

Thanks!!!

Re: Big head, what helmet...

FP and CP ar two different suppliers simply competing in the same market. I've bought from both of them and their product quality really is excellent. Ramiro (FP) is a great communicator as is Claudio (CP) and worked with me on my order to get me everything I needed. I even worked out a deal with R...

Re: Big head, what helmet...

Hallo again! I finally bought my helmet! Not to FP but to CP (if anyone of you is interested, tell me). A friend of mine, due to his job, travels to Argentina. His helmet fitted me, so he tried it on before buying. The helmet is fantastic, doesnテつエt weight too much, a good finish and big enough for m...

Re: Big head, what helmet...

I was going to go with a more subjective answer of, "It's better for some, but not for others." But the honest answer is yes...the FP is simply better unless you're 4'8" and 89 lbs. I know that guard and she's a real trooper. Thanks for your help. Iテつエll show you photos when I have it!
