Shoei Whisper Strip
« on: June 23, 2011, 16:30:45 »
Picked up a Shoei Whisper Strip this morning and just back from a 200 mile run with it attached. The decrease in wind noise is remarkable, even although the Qwest is a reasonably quiet lid to start with. Delivered from RaceVisors.co.uk within 24 hours for £21. Get one!

Nice tip, my mate fitted on to his Shoei, made a big difference as you say. Not a bad price either.

I'm fairly sure that it's a universal fit, so should fit most helmets as long as you have a tiny gap between the shell and the liner. If you can get something like the blade of knife between them, then the whisper should fit in there too.

I have seen an item that goes on the outside of the lid, kind of like a big elastic band, but it doesn't look too clever.

That could be the Windjammer. Looked at them before.

I got on of the wind jammer type things stretched over the lower part of the helmet it was absolute crap used it twice and when going down the road it just rolled off
my missus tried it on her lid and got the same results

I glued a bit of velcro into the gap in the foam at the front of my xr1000. Then got another bit of velcro and glued it to a 1 cm thick bit of foam nearly as wide as the gap. Stick the 2 together,  blocking up of that gap makes a huge difference to the wind noise.
