I was wondering if you could tell what store your friend is getting
it from and the add.
I only know of one bike store in HK and if I knew of more
it may be more convenient

Exactly. You can get them for cheap in HK, which is great. But to really take adavantage of having relatives there, you may aswell pick one up that isn't sold here. Then you'd never see anyone else with your helmet.
Damn, too bad Arais aren't sold cheap in India, then I could take advantage of relatives too.
They are snell approved, but not DOT. I guess the question is, will ICBC allow the use of them. I have a few myself, and I've only heard rumors that ICBC won't cover any damages, even thought snell is a higher rating than DOT is.

i can vouch for those prices.... i was in HK a couple of years ago and i bought my RX7-RR3 for about that price.... i:m in japan right now trying to find those same prices here but have had no such luck.... but they:re still cheaper than the ones in Van.
the shop that i know of in HK is called '' HUNG HING '' in cantonese.... very nice people there.... that:s where i bought all my stuff.... i:m sure everyone would go GA GA for all the parts i:ve seen here.... i could spend DAYS in ONE shop....
I'm heading to Japan and Hong Kong soon for vacation. I'll be in Tokyo and then Sapporo and finally Hong Kong. If I could get some information on where these 'cheaper' helmets and parts are sold (ie/ where Hung Hing is), I would like to go take a look for myself. Thanks.
I've been looking around on the internet and saw that the Arai site for Japan has the RX7-RR3... is this different than the RX7-RR4 the have over here? also, are the shell shape/ sizes same as what we would find over here?
and since i'm asking helmet questions, is it normal for my helmet's (quantum/e) breath guard to push against my noise at speed (above 170km) ?
i've tried on helmets from both sides of the world and they both fit the same to me..... i'm not sure about the technical specs on the RX7-RR3 versus the RX7-RR4 but the both look the same from the outside and in.... when trying on a helmet, you want it to fit as snug as possible.... the last thing you want is your head to turn inside the helmet in a crash.... as long as you don't feel any pinching around you head, you're fine.... try on helmets the next size up and down to feel the difference..... i wear a large in Arai and when i squish my lips together like a duck... it touches the end of the helmet..... and that;s standing still.... also remember that the padding in the helmet will stretch out over time and change the fit of the helmet..... also consider how much hair you have.... your cheeks should be slightly squished in the helmet....
Be careful about buying from HK, though. I've heard that there are knock-offs floating around. Apparently if you know what you're doing you can spot them, but watch out. THere are some pretty good fakes out there.
OoooooOOOoO lucky me then, im going to california (san diego to be more exact) for two months in the summer (hopefully) maybe i'll buy some gear there after comparing with some of the prices here.
