The J-Cruise itself and screen still look like new, for the screen I put a wet cloth( t-shirt) on for 10 or 15 minutes and the bugs come right off, than dry with a micro-fiber cloth.
I swapped out the cheek pads for the size 39mm which gives me a tighter fit, I had tried the thicker top interior bit it was too small.
I think the thing I dislike the most on the J-Cruise, is wind noise when the shield is shut all the way around the top edge, I actually have less wind howl when I keep it open to the first notch, which is OK for speeds under 45mph.
I LOVE the dark drop down visor so much it was the main criteria for my full face when I bought it.
So for everything but wind noise I still find it to be my best warm weather helmet( sold my open face and modular weeks ago).

I thought wind noise reduction was pretty good but then again I'm coming from the Shoei St. Cruz which is basically a half-helmet. Did you apply the silicone oil that came with the helmet to the top of the shield weather strip?
