Besides the internet, any good place to buy an Arai helmet in the East Bay area? Road Rider ran out of stock on Large for the one that i'm looking for. Boo hoo.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Hmmm... Price-wise? Goto www.helmetshop.com. Best prices out there and very good service.... if you're set on puying locally, maybe Cycle Gear, or Honda of Milpitas.... :confused

Thanks for the quick response! I'll check out Cycle Gear this weekend. If the price is reasonable, I might as well order from the place you recommended.

I just fear that the shipper will throw the package around like a basketball. How's the packaging of the helmet from helmetshop.com?

thanks,

To be honest with you, I don't remember... :D :D :D But I'm quite sure it was well packed... Your best bet is to call them, and ask them how they pack it... I remember the regular Arai box, then another box outside of that...

CG was kinda' pricey IMO when I shopped they still had S95's but at S2000 prices!?! Scuderia might be more willing to price match a bit? they have plenty of cool Suomy's on display too.

online, pre-ban lids still a deal. I got my Arai from Starcycle, box within a box & helmet arrived in perfect shape.

Ya CG is pretty expensive on the Arai's. It's better to try before u buy at the price they're charging.

Helmetharbor.com is having a Group Buy deal for the people on the R6 board: $20 off any helmet.

Thanks for all the info! Harborhelmet.com didn't have the one that i'm looking for. I just ordered from helmetshop.com since i can still use my old helmet for the time being. I called them up and they were very courteous. A++ for customer service. I guess I have to wait for the merchandise now.
