O lord.....

Well, I'm more or less the "helmet guy" but I'll need to know, size (in cm), preferred color, brand preferences (if any).... Depending on your size, I've seen some awesome deals recently on lids but let's narrow it down....

where abouts do you live, look for a store called cycle gear in your area, large corp. store w/ decent inventory.

Scorpion lids seem to have a good rep.

I love my scorpion...And there is a few sites that have them for 100$ or less

Best bet is to go to a place like cycle gear or at least a store that carries a decent amount of gear and try them on. I found one that fit my head the best and then found a great deal on that exact helmet on line for about $200 off of one that was brand new and a current model.
