Crucial. And I completely agree, Shoei doesnt have any bright flashy designs that I like. With how Ive been starting to like the brighter stuff lately it looks like Im going to have to try to find an arai or suomy that fits.

I actually saw a Shoei I like in an advertisement in SportRider this month. I think it was a Honda ad...their guy was wearing a Shoei. Had green stars on it.

I had never seen the back of it until I found that pic. And I actually had that issue right next to me, I dont know their inventory quite that well.

The black '09 Kagayam is my next helmet! I hope to have one by the end of next year. My '08 will be the back up/winter lid.
