Title: Sorry Gotta Brag!
Post by: darb85 on April 24, 2007, 01:58:19 AM
I was just handed a Shoei Helmet, For free :icon_razz:, Thing has a Royal flush Painted on it, It is basicly brand new, guy bought it but never rode with it, sold his bike soon after buying, it was winter, so its been sitting for a year.  the thing is awesome!!! man My luck is been Great, First a scorpian helmet for 50 bucks and now this!!!  Oh and the Scorpain was still in its plastic, I know its brand new/  sorry just had to brag, pics to come soon!  Is there anywhere I can go to make sure the Shoei is in good shape still, I mean it looks perfect, no scratches, dents, chips nothing but ya used helmet and all.

You can send it to shoei. They'll check it out for free, you just pay shipping both ways.

Is this common? Do other helmet companies do this as well?

Dunno. Shoei is a good reputable company with excellent customer service though.

I believe Arai, Bell and Suomy do it as well.  Some might charge for return shipping.

Brian, it's about time to retire that helmet I got from you.   :thumb:   My gf is itching to pick out her own.
