    new helmet

    after my ladder incident this weekend, I need to get a new umm, painting helmet. Where do you guys get your helmets from? My damaged lid is a Suomy Spec-1R and I'm getting another, most likely. Manufacture date is important to me, so a company that'll check for me is key.

    Get it from a dealer. More $$, but they can order one from the factory, rather than a 300$ online-special.

    I would go online, Try Sportbike track gear, Or Helmet Harbor (they will tell you the Prod date over the phone or by Email) The only reason to go to a dealer is to get fitted but you already know what you want and the size you Need.

    I hope your paint rolling ARM HEALS QUICK and easy

    Thanks guys. I hope to be back on the ladder again by the classic. we'll see!

    Kitt, I'm interested in hearing what they've got for sure. I just emailed helmet harbor and asked what the dates are for all their Spec 1R extremes are.. they'll be pissed.. heh

    personally i prefer buying helmets from ppl i actually know or a shop i'm familiar w/. i just bought a spec 1r a week b/f the first weekend. it was made in dec last year. be more than willing to pass on the shop info if your want. got a pretty good deal on it.
