A Shoei? Yes, many of us have them. I got mine at Dennis Kirk.

Cycle Gear is great for trying them on if you have one close by. They had a competitive price when I bought also.

I bought a RF1400 at Cycle Gear. They measured my head and let me try a few on. The guy told me to wear it at home for a few days and I could return it as long as I didn't take it for a ride.

Cycle gear for the helmets when on sale. For accessories, I use https://www.helmetshop.com/ because Cycle Gear does not carry many accessories or replacements.

Those are great lids, and Cycle Gear is another great vendor. I bought 2 of my RF1200s there.

Love the weight of that 1400, feels so much lighter on the noggin than my NeoTec2

RF1200. Felt small for months. Then just right. 5 stars.

I thought it was just me. My Neotec 2 is tiring. Fits great, but I only wear it when the temps are below low 40’s.
