I want to get a shoei rf-1100 and NOBODY has them on sale, of course, but I did find a couple websites with general discounts. One of them is "leatherup.com" and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them at all.

I can get 10% off 377, which ends up saving me 38 bucks so I'd much rather buy it from that site if it's legitimate... Revzilla does cash back bucks, but I would only get $15 AND it would only go to my next order.

That being said, $38 isn't worth a headache over a $400 helmet so let me know what you guys think!

Have you tried it on before?
I wouldnt buy a helmet online. Just bought a new helmet when I picked up the bike, an HJC in XL. I also have a HJC snowmobile helmet but thats an XXL. Same company, different sizes.

I've tried it on at my local shop, but there I would have to pay tax and get no deal at all. So I know the fit and exactly what I want... I just don't know if I should trust a website that have 7% lifetime negative reviews. That seems a bit high!

I know the Shoei is expensive, but I really don't like my Scorpion 400. Plus, the Shoei is the only helmet that doesn't make me look like a bobble head.

forgot to mention one thing,the airflow on this helmet is amazing.do a search i got mine for $100 beans

I got an HJC full face modular. Thing I like is that it has an interior retractable flip down sun shield. No need to worry about switching the main shield anymore.

Yeah I saw those... The light is pretty cool but I don't think it will solve my problem of bobblyhead syndrome. I tried on a ton of different helmets and the Shoei was by far the best fitting and lightest. The other problem I have with the Scorpion is wind resistance, and I'm told the Shoei does a much better job with that.

I bought an RF-1100 from this store, the solid colors are cheaper for the same helmet.

Those seem to be the same prices as Revzilla.com, maybe you got them while they were on sale? I ended up going to powersports4less.com, got 10% off and the solid colors were already $20 off most stores... $322 for a $377 helmet that NEVER goes on sale? Yes please. Now I just hope this website isn't some huge ripoff scam artist because they are fairly smalltime. I figured I could trust them though because they actually have a real store in the US which has good reviews.
