Velocity Red Sunglo Helmet Match - Shoei 3/4
 

I usually ride with a Shoei Neotec Modular, but when its 90 degrees +, I'm looking for more air and want a 3/4. I looked around for a lid that would go nicely with my 2017 Road Glide Special in Velocity Red Sunglo and was coming up empty for the most part. And I didn't want a heavy lid, something light.

After some web searching I discovered Shoei makes a series called the "J.O" that's only marketed in Europe and Japan, but it had what I was looking for. Lightweight, flows a lot of air, has a drop down integrated shield, and Shoei quality. So I ordered one from Italy and it got here in a week, much quicker than I expected. Fit is great - superb actually. Quality is top notch, colors are right on the money with my bike. No, it doesn't have a DOT sticker on it, or a Snell rating, so there's that. Being a Shoei, however - its not like those cheap novelty helmets. Anyways - just another data point if you're looking for something different. Here's the place I ordered from if it interests you - lots of color choices.

Good looking helmet.

That's a cool ass helmet! Matches your bike perfectly.

How bad was the shipping charge? Because their prices look pretty good across the board, and some models of helmets that aren't available here.

That lid comes with a clear shield, and I ordered a tinted one with the helmet as well since I wanted it all to come in one box. Arrived via Fed Ex International Saver in 7 days. Total with the helmet, spare shield, and shipping was 347.85 Euros, and then convert to whatever the exchange rate is for the day.

It's a very low profile like a Bell helmet - but Shoei quality.
