Helmets

#1 Unread post by PioneerUrban »

I want to buy a new helmet for a couple of reasons.

I want a helmet that will give me more visibility and one to match my bike. The HJC that I have now does neither.

I've researched Shoei and HJC. As of now I'm leaning towards one of these, but before I buy a new one, I wanted to get ya'lls opinions on what is the best helmet to get.

Thanks!

This question is a lot like asking, "What is the best running shoe to get?"

It depends on your head shape and what features are important. If you want visisbility. I've seen helmets in flourescent orange and yellow (though I couldn't tell you who made them). Those don't match many motorcycle paint schemes that I know of.

The main thing is FIT. Print out the helmet fit guidelines in the stickies and go shopping.

I read that article when I first came to these boards and completely forgot all about it.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Lion Lady! :)
