Thanks Stephan ...
Quick 100 mile update:
From behind a Swingblade windshield, I can't feel much air flow. With the visor down, even in 90* weather, I could fog it after just a couple minutes, even with the breath deflector in place.
Crack the visor to the first or second notch and the 90* cool air was a welcome relief. Surprisingly enough, the noise level didn't go up as much as I had figured. The seal around the forehead and cheeks is pretty tight.
Speaking of cheeks, in very short order I can sense the padding taking a set. Can still feel pressure points along my cheek bone below the temple. From all accounts I have read from long-term GT Air owners, this might require a little surgery to fix. Still not to that point, yet.
Its 0100 hrs and I just completed installing a Sena 20s. My impressions:
Lots of internet angst about fitting the speakers and the helmet alterations required to make it happen. The issue, as I see it, other than the size of the relief size, is the Shoei ear piece cover. It is a piece of thin foam that dresses the area and uses a thin plastic ring with seating tabs that lock into the inner helmet liner. Should have taken pictures and I'm NOT pulling it out ever again.
The plastic ring has the foam cover attached to one side and foam disk on the other, I assume to apply pressure to the speaker to keep it in place.
A piece of velcro cut to fit inside the relief and then the speaker (which already has the hook side attached) on top locks the speaker in place. The cut to fit piece of velcro carpet is slightly larger than the speaker, so its isolated from anything hard. It's can't rattle.
I separated the foam disk from the ear piece cover and set it in place and reassembled. So instead of carving on the helmet, I altered an interior cover piece. Seemed like a better alternative.
The short side speaker wire needs to be about 2 or 3 inches longer in order to tuck away the wire and hide it behind the lip of the helmet. The Shoei neck pad reaches way back to almost the base of the spine. I had already snapped the liner and cheek pieces in place and just didn't feel like disassembling everything yet again. But rerouting the speaker wire under the liner and it emerging inside the shell makes for a cleaner install.
There is a lot more face to chin bar room in the GT Air compared to the RF1000. Lot of mic placement real estate without lip or whisker rub across the mic. I placed it pretty far to the left of center to avoid breath pops when talking. Haven't made any calls yet, but the bluetooth lady understands me perfectly.
With all the bad publicity the GT Air has on the net about fitment, it's a tough check to write. I have a Shoei head. I don't have an Arai, Bell or Bilt head. I liked the looks and technology built into the Air and wanted it to work. My experience has been a good one.
