is this what u referring to?

yes it is the older model.

 

the difference is the newer one, the mouth piece is shorter and the "peak" is different.

 

another difference is $200 (at chong aik)

[kmax]

hornet GLIDE is just hornet with graphics ?

 

but hornet and hornet DS is much different..

 

what i've notice:

 

1. peak is not removeable for hornet becoz of top screw..but hornet DS, top screw can remove.

 

2. top vent is different..

 

hornet..

hornet DS (dual sport)

[kmax]

and my shoei hornet has vibrating sound (either from visor or peak)

have to tilt the head for better air flow to eliminate the noise..

 

some oversea forums complain about vibrating noise as well...

[KeraKing]

both (new n old) can remove peaks.

I've no issue with vibrating noise with and without peak.

[kmax]

vibrating sound could be due to my tall windshield, creating airflow direct to peak..

but i am not the only one complain about vib noise..

 

em, i cant remove mine (old hornet) may be i dont know

 

it dont have the flap on top of helmet.. unlike DS and top screw does not have thread to unscrew..

 

this is hornet DS..

Is ur one same model as mine?

 

It has one plastic screw on top,

and the other 2 screw share with visor.

[beagleneu]

where is Regina and Chong Aik?

[kmax]

found out that it was my visor vibrating at high speed... it does not sit properly on lining when close, tried to adjust the screws but no difference..

 

may be i'll get dark visor from Regina and try again...

[Pizzaboy]

juz gotten my multitec from regina at $40 off the price of wat shoei agent is retailing... the salesguy throw in helmet bag & head liner to go along with the helmet.

 

overall its a gd, comfy & wind resistance noise is suprisingly lower compared to nolan & soumy flip up ff

[sfowner]

where is Regina and Chong Aik?

 

near the jalan besar hawker centre, kelantan lane.

since i am selling my helmet and ppl are asking about vibrating issue..

 

http://www.singaporebikes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=293968

 

it was caused by my bike's tall windshield creating buffering..

 

i've changed my windshield to shorter one with direct air flow and vibrating issue has been cured.

I ride a Honda wave and wears a full-face all the time.

i wear my scambler helmet, HJC CL-X5(daily helmet)

I wear my OGK FF4 when my daily helmet is being washed.

U nv encounter? join the chinese cub rider outing then u will see me.

 

Open-face riders laugh at me now, wait till u lose ur jaw and i will be the one laughing.

 

rider who make fun of FF cub riders are rare.

non rider who make fun of FF cub rider are 99.9% of the population.

[AhhhhhKai]

Guys. I wanna ask whether x-12 is oriented for upright posture or lean over posture.

Can any bros out there let me know if ure using x-12? Thanks in adv. I'm planning to get a x-9. I'm riding a specIII.

I went to Regina the other day to check out the pricing for x-9.

For the plain ones if I nv rmb wrongly they r selling at 370 and the ones with designs are selling at 550.

the x-12 was designed for racing..

 

therefore with regards to ur qn, it is adapted for a low bent over/crouching posture.

Hi, do you know the price for a X-12 solid color @ Regina ?
