KBC Racer-1 Laguna

Well, it was time for a new lid. Since I have a Mladin Rep Gixxer, I decided to go try on a KBC Racer-1 since that's what Mladin wears, as well. So, I go to the dealer and try it on. It's very comfy and is lighter than my HJC AC-10.
So, I go to helmetharbor.com and order it on Sunday. It arrived yesterday (along with my tinted shield)!

Re: KBC Racer-1 Laguna

I had a racer 1 last yr when they were new and there was no visors or anything for them yet. Its a pretty good helmet... my only problem with it was the way it fit my noggin

That helmet should go nicely with your ride

BTW I don't think I ever saw a pic of your bike on the site

YEa, from what I can tell the KBC helmet's are a great deal for the money. Might be my next, or one for the wife.

For the money it was a pretty good helmet. After wearing my x-11 I don't think I could go back b/c there is a huge difference

Yep, I tried on a X-11, as well. Honestly, I liked it the most - especially it's extrmely light weight, but I couldn't afford it. DAMMIT. Luckily, the KBC fits me very well.

Re: KBC Racer-1 Laguna

I dug up some pics from the first day I brought it home. I've since put the decal kit on it. I'll try to take some pics this weekend if I'm not riding.

Re: KBC Racer-1 Laguna

Well, actually, it's an 04 with an 03 paint scheme.

Here's what it's SUPPOSED to look like:

I didn't put the #1 on because I kinda like the tail mostly uncluttered.
