Author Message   Norcalsaint Posted on Monday, March 19, 2012 - 09:22 am:        I choice the Arai XD3 Did my road test this past w/e and it gets 2 thumbs up from me.   Jon Posted on Monday, March 19, 2012 - 10:22 am:        Can't go wrong with an Aria.   Jayvee Posted on Monday, March 19, 2012 - 12:35 pm:        I love the "Flower Duet" from "Laksmi", by Leo Delibes, 1883. I also have a Profile, the only helmet that fits my head properly. (Too bad Arai stopped making them.) The older Signet "Squadra Yellow" is a better match of yellow than the Profile Sport Yellow though. That Squadra was one Arai I had that didn't uphold their reputation for quality, sort of fell apart on me.

Have you tried one of those on? I had a Signet GT that was the long oval shape that I loved and was not sure if the XD3 would work but It fits great...   Devil_car Posted on Monday, March 19, 2012 - 02:56 pm:        Preybird have you tried the Icon yet? I have been really liking the styling of them, but I've read some reviews that led me to believe that the aerodynamics may not be very well suited to higher speed road riding. It'd be nice to hear a review on here...   Gusm2 Posted on Monday, March 19, 2012 - 06:01 pm:        probly best to get one that matches your head rather than match your bike   Jayvee Posted on Tuesday, March 20, 2012 - 11:21 am:        Have an old, old Signet; an old Signet; and the Profile. (And a Vx Pro.) Tried on the Signet-Q at the San Mateo motorcycle show. I wasn't able to take out the adjustment bits inside, but right off the shelf, doesn't fit as well as the Profile (now discontinued.) Seems like it would be very useful to buy at a place that has all the sizes of the liners and cheekpads. It's said if the helmet is 'fitted' at the store, they will swap out pads as needed. I bought mine mail-order, and have to pay $50 for different cheekpads, another $50 for a different headliner. Well, still cheaper than most retail prices I guess.   Preybird1 Posted on Tuesday, March 20, 2012 - 12:37 pm:        I have 10 helmets and 8 are icon helmets and i love them. The helmet i posted in my link will have a little buffeting from the visor part but if your bikes windscreen is working properly it wont matter. I have a cheap helmet shaped exactly the same as both pictured in this thread. It is fine in the wind but the inside padding is lacking for what i wanted so im selling it.   2734 Posted on Tuesday, March 20, 2012 - 05:08 pm:        http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/mcy/2846923012.ht ml Seems like a good deal to me if they match your bike
