I got a weird tip on installation. Being a lazy ass I sat in my recliner putting the LEGO mask on. Once I got it where I wanted with the shield IN the helmet, I got it started in the middle and worked my way out. What really helped was holding the shield over my face while in full recline mode. If you keep the mask sorta curled away from the shield it was easier for the decal to not get accidentally stuck.
In the attached pic I'm using a cloth to simulate the decal. My kids think I'm nuts. All in all it took me about an hour to get it on. Patience is the key and yeah my arms got tired.
How is it on the inside? I was thinking that would make cleaning a lot easier. I'm still waiting on mine to make my decision.

FYI....be very carefull riding with this on. I just got back from a test ride.... wowzer.... my head is spinning. My eyes had a hard time switching from looking at the dots, to looking through the dots.
+1 i think it might of been wiser to go with the big dots. I threw my contacts in and went for a ride, it was easier to not focus on them with my contacts on but the second you start looking at the dots, you wont see anything but dots. I think this will be a show off visor, just to look pretty riding around town. I wouldnt take this on a weekend ride or to the track.

Its harder to see through it when the sun is shinning at you. I noticed that in the shaded areas, vision was barely disturbed. I did notice that people would stare and sometimes even point I will post pix with the bike tomorrow! Overall, it was money well spent.

As i was wearing it today... i started thinking... It seems like a lot of the visual distortion comes from the laminate layer. I understand its importance in protecting the finish on the printed vinyl but i believe if it was just the perforated vinyl, we would be able to see through it a lot better.

I got mine on Friday and wore it on the 18 mile ride to work, traffic was a little slow, however I got a lot of looks, a ton of thumbs up and lots of people creaming things like "that's so awesome!" and "That Rocks Man!" It was way too much fun. I wear all black gear on a dark monster but add a Repsol version of the Axio hardpack, which has a hard plastic shell, I think it goes well with the LEGO face. Sadly I can only wear that visor w/face when it is bright outside, and I live in the pac NW. here's the bag I wear

Check out my oil filter forensics thread! Offended? Click here"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I just discovered this post. Looking at the first few pix of the helmet I wasn't too impressed. Then I saw the pix of you (or someone) actually wearing it. While laughing I said to myself, "I must have one of these!"
Beautiful.
