Thinking about it.

Ive worn $85 HJC's for my entire riding career and while they're a fine helmet (and kept my IQ as is during a REALLY hard hit to the side of my head on the track) Im wanting something more comfortable.

Since the dealer with my KTM is taking forever to get the title in and sell it to me (I know it isn't their fault, but they're getting blamed anyway ;) ) I think I may lean on them to give me one of these helmets at their cost and drop the price on the bike.

Ive seen that too.  I like the looks of the Shoei better, and I've read they're a better DS helmet over the Arai.

What I wonder most about though, is how to make sure I get a lid that fits right, because nobody around here has these helmets in stock.

My friend here has one he uses with his dr400sm.  He also has a M800, but doesn't come around the DMF board much anymore  >:(

I tried one on at MotoGp in indy.  The lining isn't quite as nice as the Arai, but it looks to be well made.  From what I've heard, it's made so you can remove the visor, the shield, or both and ride depending on the situation.  And for what it's worth, the size that fit best was  one size smaller than my Arai.

If my Arai was at the end of it's life, I'd have bought one (they were doing about $50 off the online prices).

I'm about a click away from buying the newer model (XD 3). More features then the Shoei and I have an Arai head.

I also have an Arai head and I've tried one of these on.  They are AWESOME!

Not that you need any help spending your money, but DO IT! ;)

I tried the XD on last year at the big MC show.  The Arai rep was there and he helped with the fitting and write down the changes necessary to get perfect fit for me. 

For Christmas I am getting gift cards to DucSea.  They will go towards a new lid.  I have a small head and the Arai fits.
