509 Sinister Goggles : Quick Straps How Too???

wildcard28 · Jan 12, 2010

Hello everyone, I just purchased a set of 2010 509 Sinister Goggles with the new Nose Protector and the SnowCamo color, and they seem pretty cool and are really comfortable on my face,

I have read alot of positive feedback on them and have also read of guys who have converted them to Quickstraps, I in the catalog book that came with the goggle where 509 sells the magnetic ones, but can-t seem to find where to go get them.

What about cutting the strap and installing the regular Quickstraps?? I have also heard of this so if anyone has done this could you please post a pic or a good explaination on how you did so.

Thanks, Wildcard28

I changed my 509 sinisters over to quick straps it took about 5 min. just cut I just cut the original strap off the googles then you just feed the ends of the quick straps in to the googles.It is a pretty tight fit but they will go through the slot.Sorry no pics but it is pretty self explanitory when you do it:beer;

Did you 509`s have the new hinge type strap?

Thanks, Darren

I have the 509 sinisters with the hinge type strap and I converted them to quick straps by cutting the strap and then weaving them through a set of quick strap ends. It is a little un-nerving to cut the strap on a brand new set of goggles, but I had an old set that I used as a map when weaving the new ones through. Once I was done I cut the ends down so there was not to much excess strap and then singed the ends with a lighter to prevent fraying. Two full years now and they have worked great. Good luck.........:beer;

With the use of needle-nose pliers I was able to work the original 509 strap out of the hinges and then install the Quick Straps into the hinges. At one point I thought I was going to break the hinge but I just used the pliers to keep the end of the strap as thin as possible and then carefully worked it through the slot in the hinge.

i used a small flat blade screw driver to work the slot open enough to pull out the factory strap and put in the quick straps so that i can go back if i want, brand new hinge style 509 goggle

Thanks alot for the pics and info guys, Have you all had any fogging issues??

I haven`t ridden with them yet, I do notice when I try them on and my helmet just breathin in the helmet outside they steam up from my warm breath but I guess any goggle will do that.

Thanks, Wildcard28

I did it, I carefully spread apart the slot in the hinge strap and pulled the old strap out of the slot and had a friend of mine help and I took a butter knife and spread the slot open and fed the quickstrap in it was pretty tight and hard to pul thru but it went fairly easy. Makes a person nervouse to break the hinge mechanism on such a spendy set of goggles.

definetly the most comfortable goggles I have ever tried on.

I`ll post a pic when I get the camera working, Thanks guys

Right on. They are very comfortable goggles with a good seal around the face. I have had no fogging issues with mine, but unless it's really warm out I usually wear a breath deflector in my helmet. Hope you like them as much as I do.

I wondered that also.

I changed my 509's to Quick Straps just by pulling the 509 strap out of the slot, and inserting my Quick Straps in the slot. It was super easy. And I still have the original 509 strap if I ever need it.

I ordered the quick strap adapters when I bought my 509's..pop off the originals and hook on the new ones..then thread the quick straps to them....

X2 I also put the original 509 strap on my extra set of scott goggles I took the quick straps off of, looks kinda funny but should work fine, I really do like the feel of the 509 goggles would love to get a New 509 Helmet also.

Don't hurry gettin em on. I have the Sinisters, they fog consistently doing exactly the same things as my Scott Turbo's (way better gogglr by the way). I thought it was the fit on my face but 2 different buddies tryed em to see if they wanted them, they both passed, at half price. I've never tried the Aviators but it seems to me its a "gotta have em cause they're cool" sorta thing, not cause they work better. JMO
