Finally got a helmet that fits me. It's a Shoei RF-1000 in the color of Antracite. It's a dark metallic gray. The color matches the pin striping on my motorcycle. It also will hide fingerprints better than glossy black would and hide bug splatter better than white. At $416 after taxes, it was ALOT more than what I wanted to spend on it. I was hoping one of the HJC models would fit since they all were less than $200 but everyone of them pinched here or there. At least it was cheaper than the $500+ models from Arai. Looking forward to getting out and riding with it.

I was shopping around last night for a mirrored-colored "spectra shield" for it. OUCH! Everyplace I saw was wanting nearly $60 for one. Normally, I would just use my sunglasses under the helmet like I normally do but now I see how extremely easy it is to swap out the shield on this model. It finally makes it practical to have a tinted shield and a clear one.
