    Wasn't robbos dude. They would not offer shit service like that. I don't think they do the Sharks.

    Thanks Charlie...I see some on ebay for $350 but it's a bit risky without trying them on...

    Yep that is about the price I have seen them for too. And that is what shit me with the shop in canberra. As they did not have a small in stock, I had no way of knowing if it would fit, and yet they still wanted me to pay the freight!!

    SPARRA NOOO!!  Make sure they are the EVOLINE SERIES 2!!  The EVOLINE SERIES 1 are SHIT SHIT SHIT.  And Shark knew it.  That is why they have stopped making them.  Trust me... I have seen the series 1 and they are RUBBISH!!!  The visor mechanism is shit.  

     

    Make sure they are series 2!!

    HAHAH!! No - Not mine!!

    I did just buy a new helmet though. I started with a Shark EVOline series 2, but after getting it home, it just did not feel right. So I called MCAS this morning and they told me that as long as I had not ridden with it (which I hadn't) and that there was not a mark on it, they would let me swap it.

    So I had to ride the 3 hours back to sydney today and went through the helmet section again. I ended up with an RJAYS that is now very comfy. Full face of course! ;)

    Pete,

    It was $699 but MCAS gave me $30 off. Trouble is, it was not comfy when compared to other helmets. Maybe I have the wrong shaped head. The RJAYS I bought is SO much better fitting. I rode it 270kms today no problem.

    EDIT - RJAYS was $299

     The Shark Evolines are available for $350 from this lot.  A far better price!
