Title: arai chaser helmet.
Post by: tapps on July 27, 2013, 07:14:40 PM
i attempted to take the scratched visor off to get a new one,as i'm on the way up north in the morning,it jammed,me being a tad heavy handed broke the l/h side pod off,i looked online for the price of a new visor plus a pair of side pod's,as they only sell them in pair's & a new pair of cheek pad's at a total of £105.went over chichester to look at a replacement helmet as my arai was about 6 years old,they had an arai quantum (flag serie's UK) on their display for £499.99,so i asked what was the best price they could do it for (cheeky i know) if you don't ask you don't get,he offered me 20% discount,result or what i paid £399.99,got home to discover another a price tag on the box £549.99 HAPPY DAY'S.

Helmet city have always been very competitive, the question is, it's alright having the helmets on offer at that price to get folk interested but are they in stock?

Maybe they are, that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

So you tried to buy a helmet from them before and experienced this first hand?

I've bought a couple of helmets from Helmet City over the years, I have to say that not only are their prices very competitive but their stock has been 100% too...delivery normally takes about 2 days

they get a big thumbs up from me  :yes:

No, not at all. What I was trying to say was that some retailers offer very attractive deals but don't always deliver. I don't mean they don't offer a Courier service, I'm sure they do, oh you know what I mean, hopefully.  :mfr_lol:
