: need help
raymas8 04-22-2004, 12:51 PM hey guys. well im getting a new helmet to match my RR and there are three different models i've been eying .Either arai-rx-7, X eleven, or RF-1000, both Shoei.. wondering if you guys have heard any good reviews or know from personal experience.. thanks a lot.. right now i have a HJC CS-12 Von Breaker and needless to say it's pretty worthless, or at least nothing too great, so i kinda want an upgrade. :D
GeNeRaL 04-22-2004, 12:54 PM all great lids. go try them all on before you decide. I'd go arai if it were me, but really you should test them yourself for comfort.
Anonymous 04-22-2004, 10:39 PM Arai.... But all the lids are good.....

Anonymous 04-23-2004, 11:37 AM you are gay, buy a reliable helmet that fits so it saves your brain, doesnt matter what it looks like unless you are riding around in the hooters parkin lot, in which case you might as well buy a fuckin swashbuckling beret with feathers in it you fuckin dandy, cause all yer doing is mincing around like a fucking fruit, get some kevlar stitched tights and your set, fruit
hahahahahaha

The nicky haden replica is about that now it was around a grand when it first came out. :wink: Come to think of it, it might even be less now.
Just get snell 2000 approved and its guarenteed a good lid.
4passin 04-24-2004, 09:04 PM Seriously go try them on, they all fit differently.
I wanted the Arai helemt you speak of, found it on close out for like $300 2 years ago.
At the advice of a friend I went and tried it on at a local shop- within 2 minutes I relaized it just wasnt' for the sahpe of my head.
After trying all of Arai's line up and Shoei's, I chose a Shoei Z II Scythe. It fit very well, and looks great.
I bought my girlfriend the Arai Quantum F in matching colors for my bike too (same as the Rx7rr4 graphics). It fit her head better then mine. I do alternate helmets but not often as the Shoei is a better fit all around for me.
