I've had my C3 for almost 5 years since they were first introduced. The only problem I have had with the lid is that on both my old 1150gs and my 1200gsa the visor slams shut at 45 ish due to turbulance.
The lid is fine on my Katana 1100 with its lower bars .
Whilst away in 30 plus degrees heat I got sick of it and started to experiment.
I made 2 large polystyrene washers that fitted over the circular visor pivot and were sandwiched between the visor and the lid pivot.
Success the visor action still works but is a lot stiffer and the visor stays open to 85 mph plus, it still shuts fully when required and is water tight aswell.
Once home I've replaced the foam with two large nitrile O rings which is just as good and invisible once fitted.
This was on a size 60/61 helmet, on my wifes smaller lid size 55 the O rings were too thick and the visor wouldn't refit so I tried 2 large flat washers with success.
This simple mod has transformed the helmet when using it on the gsa and is what Schuberth should have done years ago judging by the amount of similar complaints about the helmet
