Default Re: Helmet - New one needed?

Well, went and tried loads today, very nearly got a Shoei Raid 2 but think Im sold on the Shoei Quest, just hunting online now for the cheapest price!!

Weird how the fit can be so different, the Shark lids were really nice but ill fitting it would appear I'm "between" sizes, same as AGV, to be honest nothing felt 100% but reckon once the Shoei is broken in it will fit fine.

Schuberth looked the pick of the bunch to me to be honest, but out of budget, Scorpion I have not heard of so didn't pay much attention...............aaaarrgghhh lid saturation point, buying the bloody bike was easier!!!

Right time to search for the Quest

bat-cam, I saw you listing in the Ad section, and was umming but a medium is a little too loose on my noggin and for all the will in the world I cannot bring myself to buy a second hand lid...
I`m sure its a dilema many have pondered!!....but good luck with the sale anyway.

As long as you have a round head, rather than a long one. I have one and my nose tends to touch the visor (admittedly I was doing 110 on a Speed Triple at the time).

Great otherwise though.
