Snell-certified Helmet

[ChaoZ]

Looking to do some autox and wanted to find a good place in the GTA for a helmet. Needs to be Snell M2005 or SA2005 approved.

Would prefer open-face helmets.

Wide selection at low prices of course :)

Any thoughts?

i kinda am in the same spot as you ... newenough.com looks like the cheapest in terms of general accessories. theres also compacc.com but they stopped shipping to canada

I was really hoping to try them out in person though.

I found a couple of places, none really near me.

Parker Bros Powersports at 825 Kipling.
Royal Distributing in Guelph
GPBikes in Ajax

I'll probably head to GPBikes. The HJC CL-15 helmets probably fit my budget if I want to go full-face. About $150.

Problem is it's a hit and miss ! I bought my helmet at Roayal when it was on sale for about $550 in April, now it's $700 for the same helmet. GP bikes had a helmet during the motorcycle show (open type) for $129, I bought it as spare helmet for 2nd up, last week when I was there it was $209 for the same helmet.

are any of those helmets at that place rated SA 2000 or higher? I can't seem to find any info on this...

On another note, I was told to look at bellracing.com, but everything is so expensive there!

This is kind of a hijack, but I'm looking for a helmet as well. I'm in the Calgary area and the stores are fairly expensive. I was wondering if there are any online stores out there that are willing to ship to Canada? The absolute cheapest was that compacc.com, but no more Canada deliveries. The next cheapest is now Ebay, but any other places besides there?

I'm looking for a Shoei RF-1000 if that makes a difference.

I have the same helmet and got it from http://www.extremesupply.com/
I believe they are based in California..they were great to work with and gave us a deal since we bought 2 helmets.

To the OP - give Kahuna Powersports a try since they seem to have a decent selection of lids. They are located on Steeles just East of Pine Valley.

What was the deal if you don't mind me asking?

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure - my husband was the one who purchased them for us. I believe they gave us close-out pricing on a helmet that wasn't on sale.
