Korben Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Difficult to make any specific recommendations to you mate... Depends what will fit your noggin!!Put it this way you will have a mahoosive choice there and shop around... I found the helmet I bought was £130 more expensive at another stall!!

Korben Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Stunning looking helmet mate!! As it's one of the newer models though it might not be easy to find a cheap one... You might get lucky though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susieque Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Thats a really good looking lid Harry! I've got a Shoei lid and can't fault it. And they do some fabulous designs - somehow seem a little different to all the rest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susieque Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 This is mine - a bit 'girlie' maybe! But similar colours!Cost £250 so £300 should get you something special! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korben Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 korb it looks gd with the black visor but with a clear one would look yuck. Agreed mate... Annoyingly visors for this are not cheap either!!!Found a iridium visor for it as well, but I am not sure if it would look good or not...

Guest akey Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Is that the Shoei Hornet Mark?Look great and I bet you have really good vision out of them... Visor looks massive!! Yea thats the one Korbs, I got some googles at home as well that can go on it. My cousins have the Arai Tourx and love em, but the shoei is supposed to be better at motorway speeds as the visor is smaller and more aerodynamic.come on willow you know you want to buy me one at the NEC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrycpr Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 yea go on willow let him get one i remember when i had to wear my dad tour cross to college and at 50mph along the seafront my head was blowing all over the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
