I just ordered a Bell Vortex helmet and the transitions face shield from Cycle Gear.

Let us know how you like that transisitions face shield. SolFx were supposed to come out with a shield for my Arai but they have been saying that for 3 years now...
Last I checked, Bell helmets are the only mfgr. that has that feature

I love mine, rs1. The transitions lens works great.  Sportbike track gear has star mat black rally in 2xl for $209. When I looked last week
If I had any spare cash I'd buy one for second helmet.

Actually,  GMAX also makes transitions lenses for the GM68 series of helmets.

Yes I tried one on. I wear a medium. The fit is a lot like my Icon Domain II

That's a good looking helmet Fred. I notice a lot of helmets on sale now.

wow- you guys are awesome. Didn't know they even made this. This is a major dilemma for me here in the northwest. Spring through fall you may start out in sunny, then a cloud rolls through and its dark, then its sunny again. Plus I always had to keep the spare lens in the case and was always worried over scratching it. This is my next helmet or something similar for sure

I use one of these to carry an extra face shield in. Works great.

I keep my spare in a red heel boot sock... cheap, and works great!

Fits right around the front of the tank bag.

Yep Fred. I have the same thing. It has worked it's way to the bottom of the bag on many occasion, even forgotten about for a year at a time, but the visor always remains perfect, even with loose tools and the like resting on it.
Carrying a spare visor in something rugged yet luggage friendly has always been a problem. These things are excellent. A great $20 worth.

Thanks for the link Mark!  I have a Cycle Gear a few miles from the house and picked up this visor bag.  It's usually $20...Amazon has it for $15...Cycle Gear has it on sale for $10.  For a tenner, I gave it a shot.



It's really pretty cool!  Flat and curved just right to fit the spare visor and it's lined with soft material on the inside.  It's hard to grasp this from the picture, but there is an adjustable strap and a buckle sewn into each end.  You have the option of wearing this around your waist like a fanny pack under your jacket...in case you don't have anywhere else to carry a spare visor.  Ingenious.

I have not had a chance to ride with the new Bell helmet. I will say that the initial fit is the best fitting helmet that I have ever owned.

I have 2 of them, you will like it. I've never owned an Arai but the Bell fits my bean better than my Shoei
And is quieter...IMHO
