A lid. Where from and how much?

No idea what sort of lid I should get. Had a look on Demon tweaks etc but would like some pointers.

Yeah I'd heard that as well. I only tracked the mini about 3 times before I had to sell it so I only ever hired lids and never got round to buying one.

I had a look on Piston Heads and a few folks run open faced helmets that cost about £50 so I may look into one of those to begin with. I can't see a full face one being essential for a tin top but certainly nice to have.

Demon Tweaks do a reasonable open face (Jet New Axis Helmet) for around £85 delivered, which I think I'm going to go for.  These are also for sale on the 'bay, but it's whether you trust them to be 'new' or not.

Yeah I thought about the bay and then thought my head wasn't worth the risk!

open face = crash = mashed face.

A bike lid should be fine unless you are competing / racing.
