I found a place online (Nengun Performance) that is selling Arai SA2015 helmets for $515 (+$60 shipping). For those of you who don't shop Arai helmets this is $300 less than anyone in the U.S.A.
Natrually this much of a discount gives my pause. Any feedback would be appreciated.
In reply to Tom1200 :
Sounds too good to be true, And there's a strong possibility of getting a fake Arai helmet from China IMHO.
So my recommendation is pass and buy from a reputable dealer.
If you order from a reputable site I wouldn’t be worried, however make sure you are getting a US market helmet and not an Asian market one. I’ve heard before that they change the internal shape to suit the majority of the market (of course this could work in your favor).
I would ask them what standards does the helmet meet, as mentioned above. There is a warning on the Arai website about this: Link
Shipping costs could be high as well, so something to check out.
It says SA2015 but one can say pretty much anything they want on their website.
I make my living as a Purchasing Analyst so obviously I see lots of hinky things..............hence my post here.
