01txr Member 861 Member For: 18y Gender: Male Location: QLD Posted 09/01/09 10:49 AM Share Posted 09/01/09 10:49 AM For the guys who need a AS/NZS1698 standards helmet, I scored one today at Pro Yamaha Motorbike Accessories shop 69 Moss street Slacks Creek ph (07) 3299 1999.Road full face helmet (RXT Helmets)Was apparently only $130On special for $75If anyone gets one just make sure you get the right one as there are some on sameshelf that are still AS1698.Yer Yer I have a big head being XLarge, Must be all the brains in it, pitty I dont use it to full effect.Get this checking under car for loose turbo to manifold bolts, all good but the turbine (Exhaust) housingto body had 2 bolts approx 10mm out.Only thing stopping them from going any further was the oil feed banjo and return fitting.Being noticing it to be a bit down on power as late, weather because of the hot climaterunning standard cooler still or hopefully this loose housing was the reason.Will know shortly as I head out for a test run.

Guest Spinifex Guests Posted 09/01/09 11:15 AM Share Posted 09/01/09 11:15 AM If that helmet isnt the same thing as what we all have ( mine is anyway ) except for a different sticker, I`ll fly to Bourke!I suppose, its not only be a liabilty nightmare for ANDRA , to say nothing of a logistical hassle to have our helmets checked and passed.I just didn`t think to check before I bought mine, 6 weeks ago or whatever it was.
