Author Message   Surf_boy Posted on Saturday, March 17, 2007 - 08:16 pm:        Anyone know of a knock-off of this helmet yet? Nearly $400 is a bit steep...Simpson Racing has a kind of, but.... Gracias   Ulendo Posted on Saturday, March 17, 2007 - 10:03 pm:        shoei hornet see also my post on the Airoh Tyger ( I mistyped the original post as aeroh, if you use search) the dual sport helmets are big in europe, but then you get into shipping, and possibly DOT certification issues...   Rick_a Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2007 - 05:36 pm:        Check this out: http://www.4strokes.com/tech/dshelmet/   Danger_dave Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2007 - 06:00 pm:        Yep - HJC CLXS http://www.motoretail.co.nz/product.cfm?ID=5802 dc   Aeholton Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2007 - 06:22 pm:        I have a Shoei Hornet like this: I ordered it direct from Japan off of eBay. However, I don't have a "Shoei head". It is uncomfortable and starts to hurt my forehead after about 30 minutes. Anyone interested in making an offer...it is size large and in excellent shape.   Kdan Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2007 - 06:39 pm:        All of the Scorpion offroad helmets are DOT/SNELL certified. Cheaper too. They look badass.   Surf_boy Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2007 - 07:28 pm:        Rick A - saw that, but thanks for digging. Danger Dave - Cool! Thanks!Doesn't look like it's in the US yet, tho'.... AeHolton - What is a 'Shoei headshape'? I'm interested. Kdan - Do those come with a clear lens? Thanks everyone. Lots of help!

Are you wearing goggles with it?   Surf_boy Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2007 - 07:35 pm:        No, that's why I want the face shield with it... I LIKE that helmet, tho'...   Woody1911a1 Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2007 - 07:36 pm:        Warning on scorpion helmets , my other helmets are large's , my scorpion is xtra large . thread on another board ditto'd that . the 2 other users had to go up one size also . nice helmets though and you can't beat the price !   Aeholton Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2007 - 07:56 pm:        AeHolton - What is a 'Shoei headshape'? I'm interested. I think Shoei helmets are designed for those with a more round shaped head (when looking down from the top). I have a forehead like a caveman and I believe my head is too long from front to back. Since I bought this helmet I went to the local Cycle Gear shop and tried on other Shoei helmets. I noticed they are all tight on me at the forehead. I fit better in HJC and AGV helmets.   Rick_a Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2007 - 09:53 pm:        Helmets sold to different continents are made to fit different head profiles. That's why you gotta try before you buy.   Rick_a Posted on Monday, March 19, 2007 - 02:08 pm:        Simpson sells a face shield for their GS-3 MX helmet.
