DescriptionThe whole story▼

Please note: sale to France is prohibited.

Basalt Grey is one of the quieter colours in the Glamster family, a mid grey with a touch of warmth that suits the helmet's café-racer styling. When the forehead vent on a Basalt Grey shell breaks, a black replacement stands out immediately, which is exactly why Shoei offers the upper air intake in this shade.

Where the part sits

The unit is mounted at the top of the shell, just above the visor opening. Its slider controls the brow intake, letting fresh air into the helmet or shutting it off when the weather turns.

Fits Glamster06 and Glamster

Shoei catalogues this vent for the current Glamster06 and for the first Glamster. Both share the same mounting, so one part number covers either helmet.

Typical reasons to order

  • The slider has become loose and no longer holds its setting
  • A drop on the forehead has cracked the surround
  • The vent was lost and the bare opening now whistles
  • You want to change the accent colour after repainting or a shell swap

In the bag and fitting

Shoei supplies the vent unit with two fixing screws. Fitting instructions are available on Shoei's own site; a dealer can also handle the job. Compare the grey with your shell in daylight before you fit it, as greys from different series can look different side by side.
