Just use your bare skin.

Cheap & Helmet should never be in the same sentance.

i have a Shoei Z-II Oryon Graphic Helmet for sale. Size XL.
Only one year old and used only a few times.
Paid close to $500 brand new. It is still in great shape; no scrapes, dings, scratches, chips, or fades. Well taken care of.

Asking $225 Shipped.

To those who misunderstud me, im not lookn for a cheap quality helmet, ive listed Shoei, Arai, and Soumy for the brands that ive been lookn for been lookin for (as far as i know those are well respected and quality makes) and they are not cheap by price... to the few who dont understand where im trying to get at I found a few places that offer decent prices for the x-11, rx7, etc just thought Id come and see if anybody knew of places that offered amazing prices. Who the **** said they were cheap helmets, btw my brain and safety is priceless

Perhaps inexpensive would have been a better word choice?

I have to second juicyfn's vote for Terra Powersports. They're awesome.

I thank the members of the Honda-Tech community for my significant improvements in vocabulary, spelling, and grammar. The educational gains offered by Honda-tech flamer’s pail in insignificances when compared to a college education.

I think it's "pale" in comparison.

Don't get too frustrated [original poster], I think most of us were just ragging on you because we could.

That said, I still don't think I'd buy a helmet anywhere other than a physical retailer close by. I like being able to see the quality control of the operation - it gives me an extra degree of comfort knowing the my helmet hasn't been stored under a set of wheels or an engine block. I also want to try on every helmet I buy. The Arai helmets fit me quite differently than the Shoei that I ended up buying (RF1000). If your helmet doesn't fit right then it's going to give you a headache, or be prone to falling off and sliding around on your head (playing with your capacity to like, see). For this, I'm willing to spend a bit more than the bottom dollar that I tend to look for on, say, exhausts or air filters.

Is my position a little more clear now?

Here's a link to an Ebayer with some good prices on Arai's and Shoei's.
