Shoei RF1400 Nocturne

[pdedse]

Sorry, Pdedse. Stopped in the RevZilla store on my hike yesterday and they had cycled the V10 out of their display rotation. Seems with all the helmets they have, some get limited time shelf space.

On a side note, your RF1400 is a staple however. Yesterday at that store I overheard a guy helping his girlfriend pick out a helmet. “You need a 1400. It’s the best.” They had your pattern but not in red/green.

Del Amo Motorsports is a chain out here and the location between home and work had the V10 last time I looked. I can check it out during the week for ya. Being a regular motorcycle dealer, they do the closed on Sunday and Monday thing.

Ok, thanks! I figured somewhere, in some local mc shop there might be a V10 medium in beige/red. There's one place NY that supposedly does have 3. I'll give them a call. But their return policy is 20% restock plus customer pays for return shipping. I know I like the look, but after the Shoei medium being a poor fit, I'm a little wary of one HJC fitting well (the i71) while another (the V10) might not.

I could likely wear the Shoei RF1400 large, it's snug to a degree, but there's still something catching on back of my left ear...and it's at $580, steep for me. The HJC i71 in a color I think is agreeable is only $270 and it fits like a glove, so I might go with this:


A lot of white (particularly the back), some soft grey, blue and orange...a little busy but one that grows on me. And it's readily available. I'm just looking for something brigher, a bit of color after mainly mono-color, greys and dark grey helmets.
