New hat time £££
Discussion
So far I have managed around 30,000 miles out of my HJC. It is defiantly getting towards the end of its life.
I have been round the houses looking at helmets, and have settled on the Schuberth C3 Pro. Best fit, comfort, acoustics and features. I also really like the Schuberth C3 SRC Bluetooth Communication System. Am using a crappy £30 ebay jobbie at the moment and whilst it works, it can be uncomfortable, radio is crap and it is now starting to crackle cut in / out.
My only problem with the proposed Schuberth solution?
The price... £750 !
And that's about the best I can find.
My challenge to you... Am i getting the right helmet?
Can you find the lid and SRC system cheaper any ware else? (And not in white or yellow)
Help me save a few quid so im not eating beans for a month!

cannot you not go to this weekends bike show and negotiate a discount 
or walk into a schuberth dealer and do the same
I think Motolegends in Guildford will match the price of any UK supplier.or walk into a schuberth dealer and do the same

Have a look at the Shark Evo One (the new Evoline) with bluetooth
I saw an ad the other day, bluetooth installed for £100
http://www.firecrestmoto.co.uk/
I looked at one the other day, I've been wearing the Evoline for 4 years and really like it, the version is even better/smaller/lighter/better fit/quieter

Is it a plain colour you are after? I work at GetGeared and can do the helmet and collar for less than £700.
Drop me a pm if you're interested. A few from here have bought some stuff from me before and been happy.
OP - I'd recommend this. The German sites aren't much cheaper now (£680) so getting it from somewhere in the UK and from a PHer is the way to go imo. Drop me a pm if you're interested. A few from here have bought some stuff from me before and been happy.

Yep, have a price that hurts a little less from Tom. Need to get my nogin measured and try on a couple to be sure of size and then will give Tom a cal to get it orderd.Dont think it will be this weekend though, have missed my window of oppertunity to get out of the house for now.

The HJC is crap if im honest. Wont have another.
Worth a look at shark, though i mostly after the austic properties of the Schuberth.
Tom - Will PM, but donr hold out much hope of it working.
I currently have 2 HJC helmets, a RPHA+ and a RPHA ST, these 2 replaced my Shoei XR1100 and my Shoei GT Air, the XR1100 is a great helmet but I just fancied a new lid, the GT Air is great lid too but after 1 hour it was hurting my ears, I tried a lot of things but it seemed to push my ear plugs into my eardrum so I sold it.Worth a look at shark, though i mostly after the austic properties of the Schuberth.

The HJC's are great and I think they are just as good as a Shoei but at a lot less cost.
As a follow up and closure to this thread, i eventually got my ass in gear and brought a C3 Pro through SAS Tom on here.
Great service and a good guy, went for a slightly nicer pattern on the lid so cost a little extra, but worth it.
Hat turned up a week later, everything as expected. Fitted the SRS (What a pain) and was up and running.
Probably covered nearly 1,000 miles in it now.
- Not as quiet as I had hoped, still need ear plugs for anything long distance motorway > 90mph
- Fit takes a while to get used too, I had a red mark on my forehead for the first week of using it.
- Pin lock is epic, i will never be without one again.
- Flip front takes getting used too. One morning i was confused at the amount of extra wind noise i was getting on the motorway... Turned out the flip lock had not engaged properly on one side.
- SCS, it is great. but bloody complicated. Cough or sneeze in the helmet and it starts listening for a voice command.
All in all. 8/10. Maby my budget HJC was better than i thought.

I'm looking at one of those (also from Tom as it happens), I think my mind is made up. Going for the white and yellow model, as long as it fits!
I'm very tempted by the comms system but it isn't cheap! I assume it's a standard bluetooth thing, so will be compatible with any other comms system?
