looking to get another helmet
have the new ben spies HJC lined up, but it's hard to pay $450 for an HJC
still considering shoei x-12 ($650) or rf1100 ($470) both thru local cyclegear
have had arai since i started riding, can't justify $800 for corsair for as little as i ride nowadays, i always bought yr end closeouts, but i can't find them anymore.
where are some places w/ good prices on higher end helmets?

comp accesories and motorcycle superstore have had some closeout deals recently. Also if the motorcycles show swings into town they have good deals. 2 yrs ago I got a shoei rf1000 for 3 beans cash.

I don't know...every time I try to help someone out, it has to turn into a debate over "quality" or what the best is.... Yeesh.:lol:
Anyway, these guys usually have really good deals on NAME BRAND HELMETS...:lol:

Size is an issue.... Comp Acc has a small size section and the link I posted earlier has a TON of lids for cheap if you wear a small or XS.

Shoei, did you try Competition Accessories? They usually outdeal CG on Shoei... Again, what size? It is a factor.:wink:
