Well, after following the thread in the beginning of January about the Reevu helmet, I decided to order one. It arrived yesterday evening. Took about a week from time of order. Quality seems to be very good. I've worn it on a couple of errands today and man is it fantastic. It's great being able to see directly behind me without having to move and dip my shoulders like I do when using the mirrors on the 1125r. It took about 20 minutes or so to get used to, but now it is just terrific!

I also have a set of blue tint shields (front and rear) on backorder. They should be here in a month or so.

Here are a few pictures:

That is awesome, wish I could try it on. How much did it cost?

I, too, would like to know what the $$ damage was.

How impact resistant is the "plexiglas" rear of the helmet?

There is normal helmet under that plexiglas rear window so it should be as good as any other helmet. I am curious as to where you ordered it from. Glad someone finally bought one and tried it out. It has gotten very good reviews.

Helmet, extra shield, and shipping was 295.99 Euro which converted to $430.12.

I didn't think there was a US distributor yet. Thats a pricy helmet but could be well worth it. Keep us posted on how you like it and what you don't like.

Fit is good. Seems to run true to the sizing chart. If you are over this way, give me a shout. My # is in the BRAN. Will probably take a ride down to the Quaker Steak in Pinellas Park tomorrow night.

have you ridden at night?
do cars up behind you bother you with their lights?

Yes, took a ride last night to see. No problem. The light is diffused by bouncing off 3 surfaces before reaching your eye. I purposely pulled in front of a car with some very bright HID lights and didn't have any glare problems.

Probably get there around 6:30-7pm. I usually don't stay very long. Maybe an hour or so.

I know what you mean. Too many people slugging beers and then riding off. I like to walk through and look at all the bikes, check out the vendors, etc.

Let us know how it is with night time riding with the headlights and when you have a passanger!

I think it would be a little big on you. You don't have the Cro-magnon forehead, like me.

Did another 50 miles or so today. Don't know how I managed without it before.

Wild. I hope my lady friend does not get hold of one of these. Then she really would have eyes in the back of her head...

Took a ride with my wife this morning. As expected , all I could see was her head. As I posted above, night riding is terrific. No glare and great vision.
