Anybody got a great online source for helmets?
I blew $50 in gas today going to the Twin Cities (MN) and around hoping to find a new skid lid and the choices were non-existent. I have a big head, which didn't help at all. ;)
Need to find a place that you can reliably order a helmet from with measurements taken at home. While drinking.
TIA. :)
If your looking for cheap helmets (but still DOT and some actually SNELL approved) Jafrum is a discount wholesaler of all kinds of moto stuff, especially helmets.

What do you currently wear?
Do you have a particular helmet you are thinking about?
I've got a ratty Fulmer full-face that's rapidly showing its age.
Nothing in particular in mind. Just want something full-face with decent ventilation that fits me gourd.

Used them a few times. Fast shipping, best prices I could find and great CS.
I bought mine at http://www.helmetshop.com but I went to their store in Daytona, no shipping.
I bought my X-11 from here a month ago. Good service, great pricing. The dscount code is "motodepot". I would buy from them again.

If you are up for a little ride, you can head north on I-35 to rush city and stop at dennis kirk. Or you can order from them online www.denniskirk.com Personally, I'd rather ride up and try on a variety of helmets to make sure I got the right fit, plus its an excuse for a ride :)
Helmets vary quite a bit.
The last 3 Arai's I bought, I tried on 3 - 4 of the exact same size, yet there was a notice difference in how each one fit.
Not something I would recommend doing mail order - especially if you have a hard to fit head.

+1 I ended up buying a Shoei after trying out quite a few.

This was a thought. [thumbsup]

If it doesn't fit, just send it back and they'll send you another. Free returns.
I really like newenough.com for things like boots.
