any good shops in san jose? or around san jose? im located in cupertino.
new to bikes, just picked up an 85 nighthawk 450cc, looking for a semi-cheap street style helmet, some shops that came up were road rider on monterey, and greggs customs, and cambian gokarts, ive only been to cambian go karts once before seems like a pretty small motorcycle inventory.
I also looked on craigslist with not much luck, im a small size most likely... or medium, i would like to go to a shop to try on some helmets im 5'7" and 135 slim build, im guessing small/ medium. thanks for any input! =)

OR if anyone wants to get rid of some gear, let me know...

 

just got my motorcycle too.Im located in milpitas and also looking for some motorcycle shops around the area.I have a 96 CBR 600rr F3.

How much are you trying to spend?

 

i thought u were from dublin?

 

haha, awesome, umm not sure,,, up to 400 i would say.... looking to find a shop that sells the shoei tz-r in anthracite msrp $322, sounds and looks good to me. what about yourself?

 

i am too...but my bike is staying at my girls house...dont have the license to take it back to Dublin yet...Im just getting my permitt tom...
plus its motorcycle is ban at my house for now since my mom doesnt like the idea of me having one...lol!

I already asked merrick for shops near dublin...

I have a plain white shoei...I bought it under $400 too last year from a motorcycle shop in dublin...i forgot the name of the shop...i think my helmet is called RF1000 or something like that but in all white....

Im thinking about buying a new one that would match my bike...
Im also thinking about buying new complete fairing kit for my bike in all white...but i cant find anything on ebay that is painted and ready to install...

 

haha i want to to same, thinking about painting it white...some time in near future.

i see... you have rf1000 in white? hmm what size are you? if your willing to sell, ill think about it

 

Wait, hold up! Have you try on any helmet at all? Shoei and Arai have different head fitting. Example, my head shape fits most Arai and Suomy helmets, but I cannot fit Shoei and AGV. Just a head up.

 

yeah i heard about fittings, some ppl hurt on shoei, some fit great with arai, and vis versa, plan on trying out a few at a shop hopefully, looking for a shop that carries a couple brands, anyone?

 

+1 on helmet fitting! I have an Arai/Suomy head.. The Shoei helmets hurt my temples. Cycle Gear is all over the bay area.. They have a decent selection of gear you can try out. Plus you can return at any CG location. Road Rider in SJ is good store. A good inventory of stuff for you to try out. Very helpful ppl.

 

I have some gear for sale.
