Helmet: Fits like a Shoei X-11 - Page 2

Hit up Riders Discounton the WERA boards. Got a Kagayama X12 for $592 shipped, which isn't too bad. X11's are probably much, much cheaper. Especially the solid colors.

yeah, I want a deep discounted helmet for a backup helmet, not a $600 waste of money.

I wasn't talking about getting a X12.

"Probably"? I linked 3 X-11s for around $300...

yeah I am thinking about one of those, I may go for a real cheaper model because I don't know how much this one is going to get used. I have my X-11 for fiddy racing, DS Hornet for normal use. This one will probably just be a high speed helmet that gets very light use.

Any interest in a modular? HJC for $65...

I am not a mod fan, but that's a pretty good deal. I need to get my ass to cycle gear and try some lids on and see what I like.

Do that, quite frankly, you may fall in love with the old HJC FS-15, it is supposedly VERY light and it's on clearance everywhere...if you're looking for a "cheap" lid for occasional use.

I went tried on some lids tonight. Cycle gear really had a poor selection. It turned more into a harley/dirt store since the last time I have been there. Poor selection of helmets.

All they had was a few shoeis and then some crap in store brand. They had the shoei and shark modulars, sad that modulars were the only helmet I was interested in, in that shithole.

I tried on the evoline 2 ST. I am not a fan of the modular system, but I like how it had speaker compartments built in. I need to find a helmet with that, much better than cutting up the foam.

Bell Star has speaker ports.
