Helmet: Fits like a Shoei X-11
I am looking for a shoei x-11 or a deep discounted similar fitting helmet. I think the Shark RSX fits similar.
Tigger, find me a too good to be true deal, please. I wear a Shoei X-11 medium. Something that fits like that would be great. I want a solid color, white or black would be great.

The big fin keeps ripping screws out, it's great for the trails, sucks on the interstate. I had it duct taped up for the BRP trip because I lost a screw on the interstate getting to the start of it. I want something without the fin for the cross country trip, especially if Drewpy comes.

and you must ride a hell of a lot faster than I do... or your wind shield causes some mad buffeting... cause I've never had that issue. |

I could do the conversion, but honestly, it makes the helmet look stupid. I want a low priced helmet for the trip.

but then again you also have a wind shield... I don't. well let me know what you think about going back to a normal helmet... the field of vision in the Hornet is what keeps me from wanting another... ya know? |
