Arai pricing??
Been looking for a new Arai RX7/CORSAIR Full face helmet - anyone know of any killer prices/deals out there. I have been talking to Chad @ Wills garage/Wilzgarage. Seems like he is good to go (out of stock on solid black) anyone have any dealing with this dealer?? Have to buy two helments and Arai does not come cheap, thats why I am looking for the best deal out there ...
I guess I have been living in a shoe box - We have had our Arai's now for 9 years - there is a shelf live to helments???? from what I can fine/read this is not just a legeand but for real - or they say????lol

Arai now warrants their helmets for at least 5 years, unless you compromise the integrity by dropping it, etc. It's your head....buy what you think the ol' hard drive is worth! Arai's are expensive.....500 bucks or so....but if you get 5 years out of it, what's 100 bucks a year for Snell protection?

Your 9 year old helmets should be trashed. Feel how hard the EPS liner is....that is the stuff that compresses instead of your skull. Cut off the straps, smack them with a hammer and toss them in the can.

Ya,Ya,Ya - how much does Arai pay you to sprew this crap????
Got your attention
- I know they need to be replaced - just learned that info this past Nov and I plan to do exactly what you suggested... I have learned to ask the "Forum" the $$$ question - in the past it has saved me a bunch - I am in the minority when it comes to Full face and Harley's... However, being a Firefighter for 34 years - even on the hottest rides - the Full Face feels right at home (fighting fire in a buring building and wearing a SBA) The wife wore a 3/4 on one ride and took a bug on the cheek - you won't catch here with out her FF now...

RE: Arai pricing??
price was very good if a person needs a "med" andlikes that color... that color combo does not belong on a 56 year old...lol
NOTE == I did learn at the Ariai booth last Nov - when buying and esp if the Co sells Close outs... get the date that is stamped on the chin strap - it may already be a few years old and therefore have a shorter life on your head...

I am also in the minority....always wear at least a 3/4 helmet. Competition Accessories usually has good pricing. Cycle Gear is higher. I'm a big believer in helmet use.....have seen some pretty gnarly damage on helmets and can't imagine what would have happened to the head. One girl's face shield on a full face was just about ground through......so I wear an Arai Profile much of the time. Ya just never know.
