I saw a Shoei X-11 that had a chin skirt that extended back towards the wearers neck to reduce wind/noise from entering the helmet.

I poked around and found it on Shoei's website here (for the TZ-R)

I'm wondering if anybody knows if this will fit any other brands of helmets or if there's an aftermarket one made.

I'm specifically looking for my pillion HJC CL-14 as the mic for the comm system in that helmet is routing all kinds of noise into my ears :doh:

Thanks for the info!

I would think the Scorpion one would fit almost any helmet. It just presses in between the shell and liner. Might be worth a try if you know someone with a Scorpion that would let you try theirs: http://www.ascycles.com/detail.aspx?ID=43416
 
I don't know the answer to your question. But I can tell you the one that came with my Nolan just pushes in and is held in place with friction- goes in between the helmet shell and the liner. It looks like it would work on any other brand.

These will install on any full face helmet. I started using them a few years ago because on long trips because my contacts dry out. This completely shields the wind, keeps you warm and quiets wind noise.

Wes, any issue with these rubbing against your throat or when putting on your helmet? Or hot-weather riding?

Thanks!

No, I haven't had any problems with rubbing and they breath ok.

On a hot day you may want to crack the visor at lights because it is a little warmer. But the benefits out weight the negatives. I do really like that the Quiet rider is a good place to stash the extra chin strap on my HJC AC-11. I tuck it inside the cover to keep it from flapping. the biggest benefit is just getting the wind out of your eyes.
 
Nathan, I believe I still have the Aero Skirt for my Scorpion if you want to see if it will fit your helmet. I rarely ever use it (read: never).
 
HJC has one. My wife's helmet came with it. I use the one that came with my X11 and have no rubbing issues of any kind. Eye fatigue is reduced without the direct blast of air up your face. It's a bit warm at a stoplight in the summer, but great in the winter. Also helps keep dust from sneaking in from below.

do you have a source to get one for HJC? I looked at their site and didn't see one.

Kim, if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to try that one of yours to see if it fits.

It came in the box with the helmet. :shrug: I had never really thought about it.

I went to Cycle Gear a while back to get a replacement curtain for my X11. Rather than order me one, they just gave me one from stock. Lots of people just don't use them and they had extras lying around.
