Sounds nice what ya got for slip ons?

Late to the party, but yep, right side pain in the temple area. After about one hour, the pain sets in. I just removed a layer of foam on the right side, but haven't tried it yet. I'll likely also do it to the left side. I also have the SRL Mesh comm system installed. With it, I get the irritating slight touching of the speaker foam to the right ear. The foam is not removable and I haven't quite got up the nerve to cut some off. In all fairness, the helmet only has about 12 hours on it.

Very good video, great perspective. Thanks!

Keep in mind if you purchase out of the United States you have to go back to the dealer of the country you bought it from to get it warrantied Schubert won't warranty one that's been bought

Hey, did you have problems with the air intake on the windshield?

This is a helpful comparison. We've been shopping for a new helmet for my wife. Her current helmet is an HJC (non modular). She wants a modular helmet and she tried a C3 Pro last weekend.. tho they didn't have her size. We were going to order one.. till we discovered there was also a C5. We may order the C5 now...

I own a 22 Voyager and a 23 Goldwing. The Goldwing is very competant but the Voyager is more comfortable and just has more charactor. I spend more time riding the Voyager than I do the Goldwing. You have to put the Ivans tune on it but if you are worried about that Ivan will flash it back to stock for you prior to taking it in to the shop. All you pay is the shipping.

I have a Goldwing 1500. I would like to get a newer bike like this one the Voyager. I like everything about The Voyager except two things for one thing it’s heavier than my GL 1500 not balanced as well. It also doesn’t have a reverse. I would definitely buy the Voyager wasn’t for that.

In decision to buy this model. Thanks for the video

Great Review

Great video!! finally something well done!

How do I tighten it?

Had my 5-3/4" installed a few years back also. Zero moisture so far. That sucks man

Your wright about the house power my 2011 with 70thousand it's been flawless

Is the sizing the same between the 2 helmets? For example: Would a XL C5 fit the same as a XL C3 Pro?

I run my tire higher too..Front feels to spongy with 28psi..

Great demo

Want a great 3/4 helmet at a great price? I recommend the LS2 Infinity 2. It comes in 4 shell sizes and costs under $200. 4 shell sizes, under $200, who does that? It has the ratchet strap with the magnetic retention, the emergency release helmet linings, and a latch to raise the shield, so the shield will hopefully stay closed in an accident. It's currently my favorite helmet. I have expensive helmets, and cheap helmets, and frankly my favorites have tended the be the cheap helmets.

I've had many brands of helmets, and Shoei hands down have been the worst fitting for me. It seems like everyone buys one, and then starts replacing the pads with thinner ones. Personally if I were to buy another Shoei, I would just upsize.

I went to install the 4.5-inch lights today, didn't know I needed adaptor those too. Bought a 7" for the main bulb, didn't fit, ordered another one, the right one this time. These things are NOT EASY to find meaning there are only two people in the universe that makes them so the second one that's on its way costs a great deal more. As for the 4.5" lights, only Engineered Adapters makes them, and they are $69 for a piece of plastic. Well, you didn't show anything about 4.5" adapters in your video, so I didn't know I needed those too. BUT, I did learn what you did, taking out the speaker makes it easy.

Great, i can see I don't have to dismantle the fairing to replace the outer bulbs. I figured that you could access them thru the speakers. Also, the 12v receptacle (cigarette lighter) on my bike, I replaced it very easily with a USB port, voltage indicator. Consider that. How do you turn on the lights on your highway bars? Did you mount a switch somewhere? I am going to do that myself, along with some LED lights on the chassis. I will mount 3/4" switches somewhere on the dash. Once I try to install my new auxiliary lights and headlight, then I can investigate more on where to put them, or at least see if there anything in the way behind where I would like to put them. I plan on mounting the switches, one on the left and one on the right dash to the inside of each speaker.

Thank you!!

I have had a 2007 Nomad, 2010 Nomad and the bike I have now is a 2010 Voyager that I bought used with 1700 miles with the original tires on it. I have had terrible front tire wear on all 3 bikes. I use a run flat car tire on the rear, 205-55-16, on all 3 bikes. I tried running a motorcycle rear tire on front and mounting it backwards and got the same results. I just installed a new tire on the front, Avon brand, and I am going to try running a higher pressure and see how it does. I usually ran 30-32 lbs in the front and 32-35 in the rear car tires. I’m a retired police officer and rode crotch rockets all my life, I had a 2008 Hayabusa before I retired, and right after I retired I bought the 2007 Nomad on an online auction for $3100.00 and the bike was traded in on a trike and had low mileage. I let my oldest stepson talk me out of my Hayabusa and I wound up buying a new 2019 1400 Concours to replace the Hayabusa. I like both bikes with the Concours satisfying my crotch rocket desires. I never had a desire to be a motor man because the Harley’s were so slow, but if I had it to do over again I would probably get into motors. I had a good career, I worked uniform patrol in first district, Baton Rouge, the highest crime rate in the city, worked a few years in hit and run during hurricane Katrina the hit and runs quadrupled because of all the people from New Orleans moving into the Baton Rouge area. The last few years I spent in fleet management because of my knowledge of cars and all since I have been a drag racer from 15 years old. I enjoyed your video and agree with you about the air pressure.

I’ve had 4 SHOEI full face helmets over the years, figured pay the extra and get another one. Always fit like a glove and could wear them all day no problem. Must admit I’m disappointed with the J Cruise 2 as well, same thing with my Left ear pad, very annoying pressure. More then an hour of riding you can’t wait to take it off, tried to live with it for 2 months and finally broke down and bought the 31mm cheek pads, just got back from a ride and it’s a little better by maybe 20-30% but far from problem solved. Very frustrating to say the least. Live and learn. 🤓 Update, ended up doing what you did by removing one layer of foam, there now is 3 different density of foam sections in there, closer to the cheek it’s much softer but the problem is higher up towards the ear. Getting access from the back of the pad is easy and removing one section with a sharp knife is simple to do. Wish I tried that before I bought the 31mm pads. Thanks for the tip, feels better so far. 👍

Great vídeo Just one question; how is the noise comparation between? Which one is noiser or are both the same? Thank you!!!!

😂😂😂😂😂 I did laugh OL

What do you have your rear suspension set at?

Brands say it can be done at more positions. Yamaha does the same. I think there is a lot more margin than we think there is.

helped the heck out of me bro thanks a million

Your system is flowed. You need to filter the fuel before it goes through the fuel pump. The fuel pump mixes the water and fuel so fine that the filter can not remove all of the water. If you run the fuel through filter first, it will remove more water before mixing it with the fuel. Good luck.

Thanks, good info! 👍🏼

which is better? Vance and Hines? Or Cobra?

Beautiful country, did the Blueridge back in 2010 solo, one of the most relaxing 4 days camps I've ever ridden and ive ridden long distance many times. I did it on fully dressed 900 vulcan classic. Im interested in the voyager or vaquero. Both are nice machines

Ran into this today on my 2019. When I saw the sticker I was like "Oh cool I CAN do it on the center stand!" But I was suspect. Your video saved me a lot of fucking around. LOL Thanks! Now I have to go get mine as clean as yours.

The low beam is fantastic

on the c3 pro: the vent-out air goes out back of your neck through the collar-foam material which is porous. FYI.

Is it quieter than your other helmets?

Awesome review. Cheers

Funny you mention weird noises inside helmet, I always notice that in my RF1200. Rode many miles and it never went away.

Great video, wish you would have better camera angles sometimes but I will base myself on your video to install the crashbars on my Versys! Thanks for doing it!

Not sure if I am late to the party but have you had a Shoei custom fitting service option taken up ? I have mine booked for a couple of weeks here in the UK.

What I have learned is to only adjust it when you can visibly see it moving when running and/or you can feel it when you hit the throttle. I am adjusting mine now. It stretched significantly in the first 1000 miles.

I run what shows on the tire.

You can get Givi s111 Givi s110

Great passenger review.

I'm not a long rider nor husband and wife rider, I have a roadking but I want to change to Voyager because I like big bikes and the way Voyager looks, I also have a concours14. 👍

Good video enjoyed it. I live close to the parkway and I found if you take any side road up or down the mountain will be a good ride

Even after the Ivan Flash, I don't see how another 8 hp could do a thing for a 900 pound bike. I get the smoother response, deceleration, etc., but there is no way the bike can be any faster. I wonder why Ivan never posts any 1/4 mile times after the flash? That's because there is no change. A 900 pound motorcycle needs at least 140 hp to even move along (160 would be better). My bike has 145hp and only weighs 510 pounds and sometimes it feels like a moped to me. I almost considered getting this bike at one time, but the bikes power just seems to be a huge issue(based on all reviews). Why spend thousands of dollars trying to bump up 8 hp? Just buy a buy that actually has some power.

Great to actually have someone review without the sales pitch 👍🏻
