F*ck it!! Im getting it

ORIGINAL: Shadow1

Have a look at the GOOD BUY post - maybe an x11 is within your budget ?
I'm not saying the KBC's a bad helmet, just that the x11's REALLY GOOD, and at that price......
I have the Shoei RF1000 right now and love it...also have an older Arai RX-7 that i Never wear

ORIGINAL: KidCr3nshaw

Would look killer with your bike! I say get it...
Thats what im sayin... all 3 colors are almost dead on match

ORIGINAL: daredevilearth

Buy it- I bought this one http://www.compacc.com/prod.cfm/cid/1201001/pid/18368 during the winter but off ebay for $100 and couldnt be more happy with it. I had a Shoei RF-900 before it and I have grown to like the KBC more than the Shoei.

The one you want:
Its on sale here http://www.compacc.com/prod.cfm/cid/1201001/pid/18942
for $99!
Thanks for the link, i work at a shop and its there in my size i tried it on and all... Will cost me about $70

Doesn't look bad, what does your helmet now look like?
Its the silver and black Shoei RF1000 hanging on the mirror of the Yellow 929 in these pics

Stop using bandwidth and make your own decisions....BWAHAHAHAAHA!


Buy what you like, and to hell with Joe Rocket and ICON boy.

I've heard nothing but good things about KBC helmets.

I just tried on the HJC AC-12 Elbowz and even though I liked it, for $450 I'll keep my $160 HJC FS-10 thank you very much... I can live with the extra weight.
LOL, I had a feeling at least one person would vote the bandwidth, But 7???? Come on people, ive seen dumber things then this

I have to agree with my wingmen. Just buy the damn thing, if you don't like it, keep it for a spare if it's as good as some of the reviews given here. You should be just fine and if not, you will have an extra helmet for date night
Date night sounds good, but not with a chick thatll fit in to my XL helmet

I hear you brother, any chick with a head that large scares me to maybe at that price pick up a second helmet and save on the shipping maybe

So...how much is? I think that it looks awesome an would be able to go with almost any bike. If it was for under $200 I'd say go for it unless cost had nothing to do with it...I'm just cheap.

I love my KBC. Fits great and is damn comfortable. The only thing I say is make sure it has tool-less visor swapping. My current KBC, I have to use a screwdriver to remove a plastic screw on each side, but I think that is also b/c it came with covers for the sides of the visor. Boo to that.

Helmets would be so much better if they didnt have the BIG *** company name branded on them.
easy for you to say, when you're not bringing in millions by placing your company name on the helmet...
