Anyone around the Southern California area know a good store where I could go to check out some helmets/try them on? I was looking at picking up an Arai GP-5W. I have heard of the Pro Racer Shop in Redondo Beach, but they are only open during the week and its tough to get down there before they close due to work. Need a place I could hit up on the weekend.

There's a Ducati store in Glendale(or monrovia, or something) thats definately open on Saturdays, I don't know about Sundays. Phone them and ask them if they have the Helmets you are looking for. I just bought a spare for Passengers there and got a good deal on the previous years models. I'm sure they'll show up on Google.

BEFORE ORDERING:

Measurement

Measuring the head is a starting point for the entire sizing procedure. Due to varying shapes, heads that are apparently the same size when measured by a tape may not necessarily fit the same size helmet.The circumference of the head should be measured at a point approximately one inch above the eyebrows in front and at a point in the back of the head that results in the largest possible measurement. Take several measurements to make sure you have the largest one. This is the size to compare on the chart below.



NOTE: If you have facial hair (beard) or an unusually thick head of hair, you may want to consider ordering 1 size up from what is shown on the sizing charts if you are near the top of your size range.
