eBay, silicone putty, 16g. For £3 and a few minutes of effort, there's no good reason not to DIY it. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I have a Duke. It's comfortable, but it's very noisy. That's an inherent part of a modular helmet's design though.

I can't say I'd recommend it as a helmet personally... but, if you really want a modular helmet, it was cheap, and it's comfortable, and if I was going to buy another modular helmet I'd certainly consider the Duke.
However, for me, the noise is a real problem, and I rarely ever see the benefit of the fact that it flips up.
I flip it up in petrol stations just because I can, and I ride with it flipped up maybe once a year.
If it didn't flip up it wouldn't be an issue in petrol stations, and it's arguably a lot safer just to wear a normal full-face. I can put up with one day of being hot ____________________ "Now at inspector level!" |

I do all my shopping in the supermarket etc. with the helmet flipped up, similarly walking to and from my bike when commuting. Frees up a hand to carry anything. So modular is a win for me.
I have a Schuberth C3 Pro, is quiet enough for me, certainly more silent than any modular Caberg helmet I've ridden with (Justissimo, Konda). It's also substantially nicer feeling on the head, better ventilation etc. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4
