That actually looks pretty baller. I can't find shark helmets at my local Honda/kawasaki/suzuki dealer or the vulcan/yamaha/ktm dealer. All I need to do is try a couple on to see if they fit my head and find the right size but no dice.

I think I may try to contact my friends at Alaska Leather... if they can order the helmet.. the can have it shipped to me... if I don't like the fit... I ship it back to them and I'm only out the cost of shipping...

might be worth it.... then again... Tigger's prices are pretty bad ass...


Piz what do you wear now... brand and style?

I tried on a Scorpion EXO1000 recently...nice lid...but not even in the same league as my Suomy. Not nearly comfortable enough.

how'd it compare as far as weight? the Scorpion felt heavy as FUCK when I picked up Rae's... disappointing... as I really wanted to like that helmet

Heavier for sure...but the Suomy is extremely light.

Crappy base model HJC XL. Don't even know the model name it's like 4 years old, I seriously need to upgrade.
I've always wanted this simpson outlaw helmet but it's too damned expensive and no way to try it on before buying.

I've also wanted this convertible Givi lid for a while but it's hard to get in the states. Probably the most innovative helmet on the market today.
