Dude, I have never seen an $800 Arai, even at Cycle Gear. Where are you shopping, a stealership? Fuck that. You can get any Arai you want for $350-600 online. I never buy gear in stores.

What sucks is the Shoei X-11 is a perfect fit for my head. I wish I had a cheap head, but unfortunately no...

The Shark RSX was a good second choice though.

You can find 'em for $300 after they are a couple years old.
