1400rs_0of30 Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 Last I year purchased Shoei helmet at a local bike dealers. Now am imterested in Sprints/Hilclimbs etc. Is my helmet MSA compliant..NO!..do i feel like i've wasted some dosh..YES!....Do I want to make sure this time I am 100% compliant..YES! Can some one please tell me if the following helmet is 100% compliant.. OMP Integrale Turismo Intercom. Retails at £308 in DT. I'm interested in an MSA compliant helmet that has an intercom built in.... 2 specific questions: 1. Even after reading the 2002 MSA Regulations, im still not 100% sure is that this SA 2000 compliant helmet is 100% MSA compliant 2. Is there a cheaper/better MSA compliant integrated intercom helmet on the market Thanks guys Sean The original 1400 K Series Roadsport Prototype My Caterham Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 Unless your road legal Shoei has been on the shelf for a long time, it WILL be legal for motorsport in the UK. I presume it has a blue or red BSi kite markquestion.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1400rs_0of30 Posted April 19, 2002 Author Share Posted April 19, 2002 Its a Shoei XR-900 and has brown/green sticker with British Motorcycle Sport - Auto Cycle Union - ACU Approved. Do I need a new lid? Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Wong1697456877 Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 Yes - it's Snell SA 2000 certified and therefore MSA compliant. It doesn't have a visor though and I wouldn't want one for driving in an open top car. Beware that some trackday operators will insist on eyeprotection.

Blatman Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 It should really have a blue BSI kite mark sticker too. I'd be concerned about a motorcycle retailer selling a road legal lid without one. It doesn't have a visor though I though the XR900 was a full face lid. If it is, and it is just this specific helmet (ie the one owned by Sean) that is sans visor, then fit one.....immediately........If it was supplied without a visor, I'd be going back to the shop and having a word.........

Alex Wong1697456877 Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 I meant the OMP Integrale Turismo Intercom lid which has no visor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Ranson Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 It's worth noting that in an open car you are required to either have a visor or wear goggles. I thought the Blue Book was relatively clear on what was acceptable for motorsport. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
