Being a better helmet doesn't mean that you have to spend $600 on one. There has been alot of posts that have shown that the Z1R, about a $90 helmet at my local dealer, beat out the $600+ Shoei helmet and the Arai and everything else for that matter so spending alot of extra money just get get a nice warm feeling inside that I spent alot of money on a helmet isn't worth it to me. <---Just my .02

Just to let you guys know I'm ordering the Icon Skull today from www.terra-powersports.com I'm getting it for $195 shipped. I know they fit good and haven't heard anything but good things about the helmets, except for the guy on this forum that got a faulty helmet, but that was all taken care of. I'll let you know what I think of it when I get to ride with it a few time. I have worn the helmet at my local dealer and really liked the fit and feel. Fit my head alot better than the shoei or even the arai helmets did.

I have an hjc right now, but I don't really like the fit. The L is too small and it squeezes my cheeks really hard, and the XL is a little too loose and thats what size I have. The Icon helmet fits my head the best out of all of them that I have tried on so thats what I want to order.

you got a deal damn... i got my flatblack mainframe for $200 wtf i got it from www.ridegear.com

 

No kidding, I would have paid $275 for it if it wasn't for Calkidd. Got the helmet and dark smoke sheild for $220 shipped with insurance. I don't think I'll be disappointed. You should check out their site, they have alot of good deals on there. www.terra-powersports.com

Thanks again for all of your opinions I really do appreciate them

I am glad I was able to steer some one in the right direction.

 

Thanks again, I almost had to order a pair of the icon super duty boots too (not the super duty 2 boots), only $75 but I'll wait a few weeks before I get a new pair of shoes.

its all about Arai

 

It was one of the bottom scoring helemets in safety.

 

Arai is one of the lowest? are you mad? where are you getting these facts. they're all D.O.T. approved

Again, just because you are giving your first born for a helmet doesn't mean it is the best.
