    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

    The views expressed in this forum are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of "The GSResources" or the editors.

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Arai Vector 2

I have an Arai Vector 2 en route. Found a deal on eBay that I couldn't pass up. I am wondering if it was mistakenly marked down by seller. Picked it up for $258.00 includes shipping.

Anyway, anyone have this model and how do you like it?
 
I scanned eBay and checked out a couple online retailers prior to hitting the button. Most of the eBay listings that were close (still higher) to this price were either used or open box. I couldn't find an online retailer that could come close to $258 shipped. I was due for new and I like what I read about Arai.

Anyway, still interest in anyone's review. States it has all the same makings of their higher end models with less features.
 
I have the Crutchlow Vector 2 and paid double that. Regardless, I am very happy with it. It's very comfortable, the lightest and quietest lid I've ever used. The chinstrap clip is quite tight and difficult to secure until you get used to it, especially when you have a little hand rheumatism. Ventilation again, is excellent and easily adjusted while riding. The visor has a simple quick change arrangement which I cannot comment on as I've never messed with it. Hope you enjoy it, as much as the price!

Just checked out the Crutchlow, I think the only difference would be the graphics? This is the one I will have: https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/arai-vector-2-helmet-solid
 
Yep, the graphics makes a HUGE price difference. Personally I don't care so much on how it looks as much as how it protects so I go for the lowest cost graphics for the model I want.
