I bought me a shock sock,it didn't fit:( my shocks about 1cm too fat so ill have to sew a piece in:rolleyes:
 
I'm still quite confused about what model mine actually is, or what I should be looking for in terms of accessories...

I think it is a K3 curvy, early 2003.
I will know for certain once I have it like. But would like Bobbins ASAP really :)
 
What's the best way to listen to music while riding? I don't want to spend loads, I tried headphones earlier but they came out when I put my helmet on.
 
What sort of heaphones? I use IEM style ones when I want music or satnav and they stay in perfectly.

There's always a set of the sort of speakers you get with the intercomms that sit flat on the helmet lining and have a 3.5mm plug

IC3 how easy was swapping out the tail light? I'm finally considering picking up a smoked one to get rid of the stock red unit.

Its fiddly, but if you take your time it's not that complicated. Just make sure to check that you unscrewed all screws as some are hidden. I've reused the original foam from the OEM tail light and stuck it with super glue exactly as it was on original.

You won't get an exact fitment, there'll be gaps...

This was just after I put the pannels back together (No screws, just those little black push clip things :p) with the light to see how it would look. :)

I personally like it, I mean look at Dat ass :cool: :D

Edit: I've bougth a Chinese tail light from Ebay, I bought it from this exact seller (can't comment on how long it'll last though, so far its all good). Here's how it works when bright sun is shinning on it. :p

There're cheaper ones on there now, for 12-13 quid. The one I bought was the cheapest at the time...

Just the headphones i got with my Galaxy s7, fit in your ears quite snug but when pulling my helmet down it pulled them out, pulled my helmet as wide as possible too.

I've just noticed them, i may treat myself to a Sena actually if one comes up on offer, would be nice to have it connected to a Satnav for turn by turn instructions, saves me looking down then, quite pricey for what they are though!

A few places make earplugs with speakers in (not sure if any good). Google it and see what it turns up, then look at reviews.

Wonder if it's worth a punt for £14? I think the price will reflect the quality lol.. :p

@Clovis, if you search on forum you'll find a thread about plugs, there're a few posts about these in there. A few people on here use these ;)
 
I've a French helmet which is called Shark... rubbish. Only paid 100 quid for it though, I'll get GT Air at some point. I can't decide what colour scheme to go for...
