Shoei helmets and shields questions
I am looking at a new helmet and noticed that helmetcity.com is listing the same shield for all those Shoei helmets: X-SP, X-SP II, Syncrotec, RF-800, RF-900, RF-R, X-Tec, Z-II and TZ-1. Here, I have an old Shoei X-8 AIR and the shield seem to be the very same when I look at the pic.
Question 1: Do you know for sure if my actual X-8 shields can fit on a new Shoei?
Question 2: Where can I get the cheapest price on a large, black Z-II? I know most sites sell it for about $350 US but I'm looking for a killer deal. The type of deal where a dealer (or a re-seller) is selling at cost because the season is almost over. Does such a deal is possible around you??
Thanks a lot!

There is a helmet shop in Valley Mall here in Spokane, WA that somehow has killer deals on their helmets. There all brand new, all name brands like Shoei, and they can order too.
As far as the visors, I paid $50 for the silver one, the guy said there isnt really any markup on the visors. Helmets is where he can give steal of deals at.

I just bought one this week. I searched and searched and searched. Typed in Shoei on Yahoo search and then looked at all the sites. Searched Ebay and some of the Ebay power sellers. Finally found a helmet I wanted on clearance for 219 plus 9 shipping. That is not bad for one with graphics like I wanted. Bought a mirror shield for around 50 also.

The only thing about the silver mirror shields for the Shoei is they have a rainbow effect to the silver, wherease my HJC silver visor is pure silver, no rainbow effect.
I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this with their silver visors?
