Gidday folks , any good people out there that can recomend decent size helmets here in Sth East Qld , dont understand why they are all so egg shaped ..... got myself a tripple X large open face and the bloody thing still looks like i ripped off old Humpty Dumpty , of course it wasnt the dearest lid around but havent been able to find any thing so far , will be looking at a Showie but was hoping to not have to get a bank loan to get a helmet , bloody things are pretty dear .... last one i saw was $ 350 ..... cheepie i bought was only $ 60 so maybe i answered my own question but was still courious if there wereany alternatives out there ..... Thanks .... Tim .
Thanks Scouser , i have heard of Nex but just havent seen any yet ..... will keep my eyes open for one to try on ...... Bell used to make great open face lids but have been informed that they dont meet aussie standards any more ..... thanks again .. Tim
Hi there,
There is a place in Dandenong Victoria that sells these custom made helmets for $169. They are NOT ADR Compliant. However they have almost no padding inside and sit almost on your skull, but it was really well molded and comfy. I saw a guy with one on and they look awesome. Of course they may not be all that safe but that's life. They were ADR in the 80's but when the rules changed they stopped being made. These ones I saw are Aussie made and seemed really good quality. The other upside of these was that at high speed the wind dosen't try and pull the helmet off your head form the thick forehead protrusion. If your interested I can get the name of the place as I will drive part in on Monday.
NEX are everywhere here in Vic.
Hi,
I got the white Shoei RJ Platinum for $329 from Peter Stevens in Geelong and they are very well fit helmet.
Try them on somewhere to get your size and then just hunt it down on the internet. As i thought large would be right but the medium was even better.
Thanks
