I'm looking to buy an Snell SA-00 rated Arai helmet. I would like to try them out before actually putting down a few hundred dollars on one. Does anyone know where in the bay area I can go to actuall try on some Arai helmets? I'm in Fremont and will drive up to 2 hours to any store that actually has a selection of Arai helmets. I would prefer the GP-5K.

Thanks,
Dave

 

Just go to road rider in San Jose it is pretty close to you.

 

Any motorcycle place, but i would recomend road rider as stated above.

Thanks,

Best bet would be road riders by far!

But if they dont carry it try cycle gear.

 

Cycle Gear will let you try them. They also give you like so many days to exchange it if it does not fit right. I did buy an ARAI and returned it since the size was wrong. No questions asked.

Nick

 

go to wine country motorsports at sears point.
they had 'em last time i checked

 

Hey Dave, if you wait till October this year, you can get newer SA 2005 helmets for the same price. It will last you 5 years longer in terms of safety ratings.

 

sonic_yellow,

I have some autox and rally clinics coming up in June and August and I need a helmet for those events. But you have a valid point. I will think about getting the minimum rating helmet that cover both my events and save for the new helmet in October.

 

fremont cycle salvage has some

 

go to motophyco in dublin off of dublin blvd.ask for john and tell him aaron sent you there.Or you can try cycle gear they have a 30 days hassle free return policy.I recomend going to the cycle gear in pleasonton off of hopyard and ask for eli and tell him aaron sent you there.Arais are very good helmets too.

 

also can check booths at events like alms. the gp5k was on sale last year at the laguna alms.

 

+1 for Cycle Gear.

They've always done me right and their customer service is good.
