I honestly can't remember, that was a lot of brain cells ago. I do remember installing it and not liking it though.

Ordered one of these and received it today. I own a Shoei RF-1200 helmet. The straps on this helmet are about an 1/8" of an inch too wide for the slot on the stainless part. Devices like this should fit all straps without cramping the strap. Even on the black strap adjuster the strap is wider that those slots. Not as much and more workable than the stainless part. Also I don't think having to remove the plastic snap on the end of the strap makes sense. The slots should be able to accept the straps without modification. Just an engineering over sight.
So I feel I wasted my money and won't be using this item. Hope it works for anyone else that orders one.
JMHO and one person's experience.

Please post how they work out for you.
My strap is 1 inch wide just a 1/16 wider than the stainless piece slot. It may not sound like much but why not make the slot one inch?
If I removed the plastic snap on the end of the strap what happens if I decide not to continue to use this quick release in the future?
Not trying to be picky I just think things should work better without modifying the strap.
I guess I should have thought this through better before buying. my fault.
