My New Helmet

Well, after waiting almost 2 weeks it is finally here My brand new Arai RX-7 corsair

kind of plain looking until you get it in the sun, then it sure brightens up

I was custom fitted by Robert at the service pavllion, who I have talked about before. He is AWSOME customer service, selection and the right products a HUGE to him.

Well enough yapping Here is the lid, It is the Matsudo cobra, I was going to go with the Roberts rep, but...I liked this one better hope you all like it...Now I guess I don't have any excuses not to come to grattan next year

Oh yeah don't mind the mess on the table, we are on the move again

Re: My New Helmet

I just got back from my first ride with it...I have to say I am impressed, while it is considerably louder than my old helmet it surpasses it in EVERY other feild by leaps and bounds

It breaths very nicely and all I can say is it is sure nice to have a helmet that fits properly.

It is still very snug but, I have only had it on for about 20 minutes so I am sure that it will loosen up after a couple of rides

Over all, I am super happy Can't wait for the rest of my goodies to come home

Nice looking lid. What was the sticker if you don't mind? PM me if you don't want to share in the open.

Re: My New Helmet

I love the metal flake affect, looks so sharp on a helmet. Never thought I'd like something that was that "loud" but at least two of my current lids have flake in them.
