Stupid helmet question time....
I've got two Shoei's and I am curious how to tell what model they are. I've looked almost everywhere on them short of pulling the damn liner out. I simply don't see a model number on it, but all the DOT/Snell stickers are there.

or pull the lining out... probably behind a cheek pad if the full liner isn't removeable.

Here's the sheild that it takes:
http://www.amazon.com/SHOEI-SYNCROTE.../dp/B000JCSF3S I looked at the sheild just now, and I looked in the helmet again, and I cannot find any number on it anywhere. It looks as if all the original stickers are still there too. I'll try to post a pic when I get home.

 The two Shoei's that I have are RF-800's, and they were built in the last part of '97.  This really sux, as I very much like the fit and feel of these helmets and was glad that I had two identical in case of an accident. I guess it's back to my Fulmer which is only about 5 months old, but simply doesn't feel the way these do.

Shark has some reasonably priced ones... As does scorpion. Doubt they'll compete with your shoie for comfort... But they will for price

maybe but honestly,a RF800 wasn't that great of a lid and IMHO would get blown away by most medium to high end current helmets in every category. No offense to the OP here but I sense that he doesn't have a lot of experience and is used to a FULMER so most any other helmet would be an upgrade,again no offense meant. |
