It should be noted... with leathers, and ESPECIALLY helmets. You should try them on. Helmets are a must. Not all heads and helmets are shaped correctly. Its your melon.. they are sold out at K-Fart so take care of the one you got. Without proper fitment you might as well wear a novelty.

I agree 100%. No gear fits the same. An XL helmet in HJC will fit different then a XL helmet in SHOEI. Always try on gear locally for fittment and comfort before trying to buy anything online.

For helmets it has to do with headshape. Some have basketballs and some have eggs. And some helmets are shaped for one and some for the other.

I've bought a lot of stuff from www.motorcycle-superstore.com.
Little slow in getting from CA to PA, but good service and low prices.



Hey all- thought I'd see what the small revolution was about.
