yeah me too....hahahaha

I've thought about installing earth magnets somehow into the inside top area of the visor area and attaching washers to the top of lense. Not sure if it will work. Wish I could figure out the best way to go about attaching it inside. Doesn't seem like much room to help install visor.

Also, the way the top and bottom visor don't line up....it seems like there will be a gap along the bottom. But I think that's just the style of the helmet. I guess it will help vent the heat from inside while wearing it.

The gap at the bottom is fine. It helps cycle out old air and keep the visor from fogging out.

do you have any pics of the inside of your helmet? I can't find any pics of how anyone installed theirs. Perhaps I'm over-thinking how to install the lenses. I'm wanting my lenses to be interchangeable. I'm wanting to get the lenses assembled before I go to paint.

here's what I'm thinking of doing....thoughts? There's isn't much room over the eye opening on the inside to attach much to.

Finally trimmed out charcoal lense. Right now I'm just test fitting and double-checking the size of my lense. I was going to install via magnets but after reading about magnets being against your head I'm going to look into another way.




Even though it's just in there with tape, im pleased with the size I cut out using my homemade template. The gap at the bottom isn't too big either. Although, while wearing it for a moment with lense taped inside, I fogged up quickly. Perhaps a bit more gap intentionally at the bottom could help. Thoughts? I'm trying to get the lenses pre-installed the way I like it so I can then remove it, send it off for paint, and then put it back in. As I stated before, I'm also cutting out a clear lenses that I will tint red for any night time troops.

Thats about right as far as a gap on the bottom. Anything more than that and you'll run into it rubbing against your nose.

After debating on where to buy my gloves, I stumbled upon a company in Germany that had burgundy suede gloves that would do the job. I ran the gloves I found by my GML and he said they would pass. Thought I'd share the link

After shipping, the Euro to US Dollar conversion was around $42.61. There was not a size chart on the website but I was able to contact them via their English Facebook page and they helped me choose my proper size. Can't wait to get them. One step closer now

I use those gloves too.

[Sascha_Wilsing]

Yes. Those are good.
