| Re: helment I have a Scorpion EXO-700 cost $199 last year, replaced my Arai Signet which was my second Arai helmet. I really like it, very comfortable and the no fog shield works very well.

| Re: helment HJC makes a good helmet. I would not be alive right now if I didn't have mine on last September. It has the gouges in it to prove it. That being said, I now am wearing a Shoei. |

| Re: helment I think you'll like the EXO700 especially after you break in the liner ( takes a few weeks of riding every day). My head got fatter so now i need an XXL instead of XL lol. haha.
Scorpion also has different tinted face shields and liners available. If you have a L,XL, or XXL the shell ( I believe) is the same size and you can install a L,XL, XXL liner into it. Double check that info with Scorpion first before buying any replacement liner.
Why do i feel so compelled to post in every thread? LOL. I'll have to watch that from now on. |
