    Hi Y'all,

    So, It is very possible that I will be back on 2 wheels soon.

    I have come into a little money coming up to Christmas, an while I wont be back on my little FZR, I'll be on the Bro's 2 fity.

    Exciting times.

    What is daunting, is finding a new helmet..... I have been casually looking for years. But have found nothing that compares to my KBC gunslinger.

    Fkn love that helmet. Perfect size, love the design (REALLY LOVE IT) and was awesomely comfortable to wear.

    The material lining the helmet was soft & foam was firm.

    I don't even think KBC retail their helmets in OZ anymore. I bought that Helmet in 2007. So the time was coming up to replace it. So I casually browsed to find a replacement. But then I had the accident, and I need to replace it out of prudence.

    Dumbass question, where can I browse a whole heap of helmets? Bike typically dont stock a massive range of stock, be it size brand or design. Helmet Manufacturers websites are drowned out by online retailers, which dont have much stock online themselves.

    I have found one helmet I did like....... But its $1100-$1300, which is the AGV Corsa. Atm I have some money, but not a bucketload. Tried it on & it was awesome. I'll buy one when I have a bit more cash.

    Looking to get out of it for around $300, maybe 400.

    Any suggestions on place to look at them online, or instore, or actual helmets would be great.

    I am really stuck.

    After a Fullface. Was half considering the Bell "Revolver" haha... (I know its a flip up helmet)

    Thanks.

    I did see that KBC assassin, but it's in America & is an XL helmet which is simply too big for my dome.

    But I did find another KBC helmet up here in QLD on ebay which wasn't there when I searched Friday afternoon. Also found another in VIC.
