the green sticks out like a ruby in a squirrels ass...but other than that...not aweful :idk:

RACER X 10-15-2009 09:08 AM

the white stripe on top is the track layout at monza

i'd like to see a full pic of whats on the back

i'm a fan of "loud" lids , people see them, but i wear all black gear otherwise.

Ninjakel 10-15-2009 09:11 AM

meh, not a fan.

Dave 10-15-2009 09:12 AM

i totally dig it.

Rider 10-15-2009 09:32 AM

Not my style.

z06boy 10-15-2009 09:33 AM

Not for me but it's not that bad either. The fact that it's an Arai makes it better. :lol:

CrazyKell 10-15-2009 09:35 AM

I don't know what 41 nk means (:scratch:). It's not awful but not my style.

I like the idea of a "loud" lid too to be honest.

wildchild 10-15-2009 10:50 AM

I like it. definitely different. just be ready to explain what it is a lot.

Trip 10-15-2009 11:12 AM

This helmet makes no sense. Yes, Noriyuki rides a Ducati and Monza is in Italy, it's still dumb to relate the two. no likey

this is a noriuki haga rep helmet. Those are his initials and race number. Nk141 across the back is his website and unless i missmy guess the numbers over the top are the coordinates to monza

it's not his initials since his last name is Haga and it's actually nki41. It's a shorten Noriyuki.

yes, it was stupid then too. It's like Lorenzo wearing the Captain America stuff at Indy. Actually it's worse since he rides a Yamaha. The dude is spanish, not fucking American.

neebelung 10-15-2009 12:39 PM

Not feelin it. Fire and Ice was way hotter.

He said he likes Captain America...do you think he should have worn it in Europe? :lol:

BTW - The Haga helmet is not something I would buy...but not horrible. :idk:

Riceaholic 10-15-2009 01:23 PM

I'm a huge Haga fan, but seeing how sweet all his other lids were I doubt he had much to do with this one...

No Worries 10-15-2009 01:25 PM

Umm, have you ever worn a black helmet when it's sunny and over 80 degrees?

MissHell 10-15-2009 08:15 PM

I think I'd like it if the 41 wasn't in green. :whistle:

tommymac 10-15-2009 09:06 PM

I will have ot pass on this one.

I like it that way :shrug:

Helmets with only 3 or fewer colors are for old men, IMO

racedoll 10-15-2009 11:25 PM

I don't love it, but I don't hate it either.

Not really liking it

tached1000rr 10-16-2009 06:49 PM

no likey.....

FT BSTRD 10-22-2009 08:54 PM

The graphics are fine, but I'm not an Arai fan. Most over rated helmet out there.


They won't get one penny more of my money ever.

QFT!!! I could have just about been an Arai rep I loved them so much! Now I'm rocking the Shark which I like much better for the money! I'm thinking about an AIROH, 4 shell sizes, plenty of features, super light AND not too many people have them yet! Besides, I don't know the noise numbers but with all of those vents, I doubt you'll find a lid that pushes more air!

I love my Arai, but it is only a year old, and the vent on the front will not close.:td:

CasterTroy 10-23-2009 09:38 AM

Did you buy anything yet Ed?

macon454 10-23-2009 04:46 PM

Not bad

SLAM !!!

Arai & Racer X = OWN3D

Outdated earpod design, one of the worst visor removal systems, and way overpriced IMO. The only thing above-average about Arais is the liner quality, and maybe the paint.

naw don't need anything really. but my next helmet will be ARAI again despite 'slice's opinion........:lol

prolly the nicky lid, but i won't "need" another 1 for at least 1 more year.

CasterTroy 10-26-2009 03:49 PM

Well my ROOF that Rez sent me was over 6yrs old so I NEEDED one...plus the wife didn't want the Noland that came with the RT (he GAVE me a new com helmet that his daughter wore like 3 times) because someone ELSE's head had been in it....despite me removing the liner and washing the hell out of it :idk: so when I saw the Suomy deal.....:rockwoot:

CrazyKell 10-26-2009 03:55 PM

This thread reminds me that I need a new helmet. Now that the season is over for me I'm going to wait and see if there are any deals at the bike shows.

I have a terrible time finding helmets that fit my head. :?:

Only two brands to ever fit have been HJC and Icon. I've only owned HJC's. That's why I'm waiting for the bike show....lots of sizes/brands to try on.

I wouldn't count on it. The bike shows haven't had deals for years.:td:

racedoll 10-26-2009 08:40 PM

Our bike show sucks for getting anything good.... at least of the brands I'm looking for.
