OOOOoooo pretty. Nice helmet! I'm surprised you didn't stick with Arai though. What made you switch to Shoei?

I thought Arai and Shoei were for completly different head shapes. How can you go from one to the other and have it fit right?

I was gonna get the blue one but i figured the black is pretty tits

I tried on both the rx7 and rf1000 recently and they felt relatively close. It depends on which model you go with. Arai has a couple different ones and shoei has a few too.

The Arai X-11 is for long oval head, which is what the Shoei RF1000 is for as well.

Fixed it for you. The shoei x11 seems to be for a bit more round head.
