Ah, thanks for that link. I hadn't found the DP conversion kit by itself on the Scorpion site but I had noticed that the Scorpion EXO400 DP is listed under "snow helmets." Interesting...

Good advice with removing some foam from the cheeks. Perfect fit now. I like my Scorpion 700. I have had an RF1000 and liked it very much as well. Tuff choice but since I don't have a ton of extra money laying around I went with the Scorpion.

Never had a scorpion on my head ...but I have 3  RF 1000s and although I like my X11s and Arais better, the RF 1000s are very nice helmets. As you already know the visor switch is a snap.

Grapics are like anything else, if you like the way something looks then it looks good ...to you.

I always wear a helmet liner so my helmets look like new so I don't know what a dirty helmet looks like. The silk liner costs $15 dollars and takes 2 minutes to wash it out and hang it up after a ride and it's dry by the next day.

The strap has the traditional D Ring closure and an easy fitment to secure the loose end so it does not flap when you ride.

It is comfortable and it has a reputation for quality for over 50 years so I prefer to trust my brain to the proven helmet makers.

As nice as i'm sure the RF 1000 is, they don't have a graphic called the Crackhead. [beer]
