JohnR6 Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 My mate is selling a BRAND NEW Black/Grey Shoei XR-1000 helmet for his mate and he just called me up about it. He asked if I want it for £150, so I told him I'll let him know by the end of the day, I'm going to see if he'll sell it for £100-£130 but I haven't tried it on yet! It's a Medium and I'm a Medium for Suomy Helmets.......you think the Shoei will fit me? I don't want to miss a bargain here and I only have a few hours to let him know! Please let me know what you guys think. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnR6 Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 I hope so too mate. :wink: It should be OK, I tried lot's of helmets on at the NEC motorbike show last week and all the Medium Helmets I tried on fitted perfect......it's just a matter of give or take with different brands.

Guest JMW Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 If it doesn't, I'll give you £10 for it ? Hope it works out.. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnR6 Posted November 17, 2004 Author Share Posted November 17, 2004 I got the Helmet last night and I can't be any more happier! The Shoei fits perfectly and I love it. I already started to personalise it by adding some stickers on and all but I think I would have prefered it if the helmet was Blue/Black/White instead of Black/Grey/White coloured.......... but hey, Black/Grey/White looks cool too and I can't really complain since it's a brand spanking new top of the range high quality helmet worth £330 in which I got for £130! :wink: The only minor thing which I don't like about the helmet is that it hasn't got a Breath Guard.....does anyone know where I can a Shoei breath guard which will fit my XR-1000?
