New Helmet

Posted by Naked Rider in Accessories

After returning my Icon Airframe I was still lacking a helmet.  So I set out on a quest to get a new Airframe.  Ryan and I went down to Turn 1 Motor sports in Plymouth, Indiana.  They have one of the largest selections of helmets around here.  Unfortunately they didn’t have my size.  I tried on several other brands of helmets thinking I may be able to find something different than the Airframe.  I ended up bringing home a Shoei RF-1000.

Price wise the Shoei was about $80 more than the Airframe.  But the dealer at Turn 1 said that it is a much better helmet.  From my reading I would concur.  My first impression was the Shoei feels lighter than the Airframe.  Unfortunately I haven’t had enough time in to properly check it out.  I’ll write a complete review of the helmet when I get a few bugs on it.
