  • Lids, whatcha got, whats the best.

    Im looking for a new lid, actually a matching set most likely, for myself and the other half. Currently I've got my Vega helmet, and its served me well, Kevlar/Fiberglass, lightweight, well vented, and of course quite comfortable. So its all good, but the wife's helmet is a bit old and needs replaced, so looking for your thoughts.

    I've heard good things about Scorpion helmets as well.

    Shoei RF1000! Nice helmet, light comfortable....

    Venting is good, I actually can't open it as much as other helmets I've had...Too much wind!

        Maw has a closeout on their Nolan X-lite 901's and I just bought 1 ($99 ain't too bad for a decent lid) . I'll let you know how I like it in a couple of weeks , but I heard some good things about them on another board.
        I am a fluffy lil cuddly lovable bunny , dammit !

          Helmet

          I also have a Shoei RF-1000. The upper venting is awesome, the lower one, well for me it just doesn't work. Fogs up like crazy even in the early mornings during the summer. For this reason it is now my spare helmet.

          I recently purchased a KBC VR-1 helmet after trying on many lids here and there (Suomy, Arai (too expensive) HJC, Shark, Bell, AGV etc..). The KBC is very very comfortable but the top venting isn't as good when it gets really hot. It does't fog up though...so far so good. It's also half the price of an RF-1000. Check it out if you like at http://www.motorhelmets.com/htm1/hel...-table-vr1.htm.

            I've always like the Shoei helmets. Can't beat one that was made to go with your bike. Here's my Shoei RF-900...and a shameless opportunity to whore my bike.

                  Shark !! You can find them at a decent price if you look. Oh, and if Shane can be shameless, so can I. Look at that awesome helmet !!!

                  Some people are a lot like Slinkys.
                  Not really good for anything, but bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

                    I have an AGV Demon Top. I got it from www.dtmaonline.com Paid about $150 with shipping. Take a look at their site. They have different types and at good prices. I am leaning more toward a Shoei myself. I really want an Arai. I have an XL Replica AGV helmet for sale.

                      Wearing helmets is NOT a civil rights issue - it is a safety issue, period!

                              I agree with Jackal (even if he doesn't like my stealth exhaust ) Shark makes great helmets. I had one, saved my noggin earlier this year. It's just difficult if you wear glasses 'cause it fits so snug. But they're darn comfortable and safe. The RSV Symbio is on sale here at Powersports for $199 CDN. Great deal
