Default Nolan Helmets - Local

I can't seem to find any local places that carry the current Nolan helmets. I'm looking at the 102 or 104 and would like to try it on for a little while before I spend the money. Anyone know of a vendor in the Dallas / Fort Worth area?

I have the same problem in portland oregon area, no one carrys them. i order from compacc, have bought 3 nolan helmets from them... if you order the wrong size, they will let you exchange, you just pay return shipping. great company to do business with. i think the nolan N102's were discontinued a while ago, even the N103's are discontinued, unless some one has some new/old stock... for sizing, i wore a large in the n102, but needed an XL in the 103 & 104's... the N103's had some design issues, and i wouldn't buy one... the new 104's and the N44's are both great helmets... i think compacc is having a sale on the N43E's... they are a very good helmet also.
I just thrashed my N103 in an accident 4 weeks ago, protected my head just fine, only a mild concussion.

Pretty sure Cycle Gear sells them. I just purchased a N104 from J&M since I wanted a headset in it, but last time I was at CG on Alta Mere in SW FTworth I saw some Nolans but didn't look real close.

Hmmm, maybe I should check out another CG. The one in Bedford didn't have any Nolans.

Another question.....

Anyone know how I can have both the ability to plug in to my 7 pin audio connector and have bike to bike communications? I think the J&M will allow the direct plug in but don't think they have the bike to bike though.... I have an Ultra and the wife ride a RK so she wouldn't need the audio portion.

I bought my Nolan at Beaverton Honda off Hwy 217.

I also had fun finding them. Even contacted NolanUSA and got a list from them of the dealers they said stocked them. Not a one had any.

I only found some, here and there, by stopping into any dealership or motorcycle accessory store. Many times, they would only have one or two.

I never was totally able to get all of the ones I wanted, in the sizes I needed to check to decide.

Why not use the CB for bike to bike, that's what it's for and a standard.

Hmmmm, never thought about that. Now, I just have to teach my wife how to use a CB on her Road King.

Should be easy since they don't have a CB. :-)
