I ended up getting some larger cheek pads - made it fit much better. It could use more vent action when the Alabama summertime temps get on up there.

Hey c50Tiger... That is one heck of a good price for that helmet. Are you sure it's not a CL-Max.

I just bought my third Z1R. One for Wifey, one for my son, and one for moi. They rock and they are safe. Plus, I am able to buy three for less than the cost of many other single helmets.

Very comfortable. Arai's service has been exceptional.

1. Make: Crap
2. Model: Crap
3. Approx price: $150 cdn
4. Approx age: 4 months

Just bought a cheap helmet cause i was low on funds, it's comfy until high speeds then it starts to lift. It seemed to fit snug when i bought it.

skullman91 · 07-08-2005, 07:59 AM

mine actually lifts a little too when on the highway, especially on the cruiser, it didnt do it too much on the sport bike but it fits snug also. i had a small but it was too tight so i returned it and got a medium... but now i just wear a skull cap and it doesnt move at all...

tlwisner · 07-11-2005, 12:44 PM

1. Make: Nolan
2. Model: N-41 Classic
3. Approx price: $130
4. Approx age: 2 months

This helmet fits well and is very comfortable. I chose it because the sun visor and face shield can be used at the same time, and the face shield can be opened under the sun visor at lower speeds. A nice cruiser helmet, and a reputable maker.

Wabbit44 · 07-17-2005, 01:00 PM

HELMET??!! What helmet??!!

Just kidding. I do have three... an Arai Signet (my fav.. bought on Ebay for $250 in new condition), a Nolan N100 (least fav, loose feel), and an HJC Symax (nice fit, easy to change visors, but poor ventilation on the top, and forget about it on cold days. You'll freeze yer chin and cheeks off!)

Wabbit44 · 07-17-2005, 01:06 PM

Sounds to me like a lot of you pay too much for brand new... try this link. Best I have found so far...

MotoEmporium

Or for more here's another in Daytona Beach, Florida...

And you can probably get shipping waived if you're nice

I wear a HJC 3/4 helmet with a face mask in the summer. When I get on highways going about 65, the helmet must move around enough to cause my scalp to itch a little--very strange huh? But at least with the full face mask I don't have the helmet wanting to take off into space
