Shark RSI Shuriken. I got it for $305 shipped from 3D Cycles. I ordered it Thursday afternoon and it arrived today.

I've heard about people talking about that rare perfect fitting helmet, and I think I found mine already. It fits really snug, but there are absolutely no pressure points to make it uncomfortable over time. I haven't ridden fast enough to comment on the noise or venting yet.

sharp lookin' lid! Take it to the dome!

nice looking helmet, and glad that it fits so well, the pads should break in a bit too so the snug fit is a good thing.

I have Scorpion EX700 and had to order smaller pads because original were too tight.
I am interested in hearing how loud your new helmet is?

shark products are top notch.
Enjoy!

Hey, Nice Lid

keep us posted on the noise level and continued comfort level.

Thanks

Deb

Well, after a few days, I still like the helmet. The noise is pretty low up to 145 mph so far, and it still fits great. My only peeve is that the strap is a little short for my wide jaw. The way the end secures is by hooking onto a plastic loop with a barb on the tip of the strap.

Nice. Very nice. I've been thinking about a new helmet. Maybe I'll look into getting one of those.

Thanks for sharing!

Looks great. I've read plenty of positive feedback from other members about this helmet. I'm on the market for a new lid as well. Scorp's EXO 700 is nice, I tried it at a local shop and that thing fits my melon head well.
