discount helmets?
 
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.

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:
