Helmets

OK, I just ordered the Bell Revolver "Rally" helmet from Motorcyclesuperstore. I'll give a review after I receive it (duh!). It's the shiny black one with white stripes.

I've ordered an AFX FX-37 dual sport helmet for use on the Manstrom this summer.

Not sure if I'll like it, but for the clearance price that I paid for it ($60) if I don't I'm sure I can unload it.

Thanks, I'll be waiting for your review.

I forgot. Here's a review by Revzilla. 1750 grams= 3.86 lbs. The Nolan 102 is nearly a lb. more!

I bought a Shark Evo and had a problem with the sun shade scratching when it was run up and down. I returned it to the seller and promptly I was sent a new replacement. For me the fit is good and it is lighter than some of the other modulars. Go to a store that sells them, try one on and if it meets your needs, buy one on line for a great savings.

What SacramentoMike said. You can only wear what fits your head shape (LONG OVAL, INTERMEDIATE OVAL, ROUND OVAL, etc.). You could wear something else, but you won't be happy with the pain which results.

Try them all on and bring an air horn or something else which makes a whole lot of noise with you and see what works for you.

Shape is most important. You cam always wear earplugs or noise killing earphones like the Sennhieser MM50's to kill off noise. If you use the headphones make sure they are legal in your state (they are not in Massachusetts).

I like the HJC SyMax II, the price is right and it's not too heavy, but...

It's noisy, I wear earplugs, I'm happy.

I agree, the only problem is that there is not to many placed in CT that carry all the brands to try on, very limited.

I bought this one last week:

Clicky

For $64.99, how could I go wrong? If I didn't like it, or it didn't fit, I'd CL it....

Got this in, and it will do just fine on those hot Texas days, when I need a little flip up. The other days, my ARAI Profile works just fine.

Motorcycle-Superstore (dot) com is very good with returns. If you call them and order you can make certain they'll take it back if it doesn't fit. Also in CT is Cycle Gear in Manchester CT. They also have a store in Orange CT. Their selection is pretty good and they often have sales with great prices. For example I was able to pick up two Pirelli Diablo Supersport tires for less than $200 there.
