I buy pretty much everything online after reading and researching...

For Harley Parts I only buy from Kutter Harley Davidson... They are the best

for everything else I use motorcycle superstore dot come or revzilla... both places don't charge tax and shipping is fast and usually free.

Lastly there return policy is great you don't like it box it back and ship it back...

ya you have a chance with a helmet that it does not fit etc... but they will take it back which is cool...

I'm currently using a Neotec. Cheek pads are available in 3 sizes and the whole interior padding is removable, replaceable, washable.
Ill get the review done in a few days... I want to make sure I ride with it more then a day or two.

The interior pad is removable and you can wash it which is great... You lid will always smell fresh and clean.. you can replace as well.

Inquiring minds want to know...
right now its not the quietest helmet... that I can tell... that is mainly due to all the vents this helmet has... but nonetheless its not loud either. its comfortable thus far as far as sound.

It is an oval shape... most high end lid companies are moving away from the jack and the box head look...

now you know.. hahaha

I'm pulling the trigger on one as soon as my buddy gets his in and I can test fit it.

These are great helmets.

Motorcycle Superstore has the Bell Star with a free Transitions Photochromatic face shield right now-
http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...ll-star-helmet

The bell RS-1 also comes with the free Transitions Photochromatic shield, I have the RS-1 and really like it, stable, quiet and well vented, another great full face helmet option. A little less expensive the the Star!

Good luck to you man.

Just saw that deal.

I'm unsure about the transition lens. I like my lens super dark during the day. And at night I'll swap for crystal clear.

It takes
Ike 2 seconds to swap shields. No tools required which is a huge plus.


Also I have read some not so great reviews on the lens.

However I would take it if it was free. Lol

I always buy at Revzilla.com. They have great video reviews and free shipping and super easy returns. My current helmet took a few tries of different helmets, styles and sizes to get right.

I'm rocking a Shoei RF-1200 full face now.
