I'm thinkin about getting the rubatone black one, but haven't heard anything about the helmet, good or bad. Anybody got any input?

Also, i heard Icon and HJC fit the same, is this tru?

 

Icon and HJC don't fit the same. I rode with a Large HJC for about a year, got a Mainframe when I bought my new bike(from the previous owner) and it was also a large, but it ran really small and I actually used it for my ex-gf who was like 5'3.

I didn't like the Icon, so now I just give it to the ladies to wear.

 

haha at least ur putting it to use wut didn't u like about it? in HJC i'm kinda in between a small and medium so would u think a medium would fit good?

PS- i have a tiny *** head

 

It was just too tight on me, maybe I would've liked it had it fit me.

 

it's ok, but I think it's too bland

 

rubatone colors (flat) scratches easy, still a pretty nice helmet, was gonna get it but got a shoei diabolic 2

 

This is mine


I like it. it is not the same sizing as my HJC. I had to go a size up from my HJC.

 

sweet i ordered mine last night... in HJC i was kinda between S and M so i ordered a Medium icon

 

The icon is bland but it has the Nightrider look to it.

 

I liked the ICON because of the match to my gear and bike but, did not like the fit. It was extremely tight on my head in XL(yes I have a big *** head) Almost to tight for break in. I ended up getting a scorpion which has a nice fit in my opinion. Let us know how the helmet is after break in.

 

That would look sick with a mirror visor.

 

i wear a M in HJC and a L in ICON...i go tthe alliance in flat black...i love it!!! ventilation isnt the GREATEST, but its better than my HJC, and nothing an anti-fog screen or anti-fog nose cover (forgot actual name) wouldn't solve....i need to get the gold-chrome visor for it now

 

nice. how much/whered u buy?

 

got it off ebay... $180 shipped

GOOD:

Should be here sumtime this week

BAD:

its getting shipped to my house cuz that's where the bike is and i won't be outta school and be able to go home for another week and a half

 

I think ICON gear is CRAP but that's MY opinion.

For your head, you don't want to go with substandard equipment. Sure it's SNELL and DOT......

But that's like saying sure, my FORD Pinto was OK'd by DOT. Why would it blow up?????

 

the icon helmet feels bulletproof bro, dont even seat it....a friend of mine went down on the freeway @ 90mph (got sideswiped) and his icon held up liek a champ..

i paid $200 for mine from the local dealership

 

kinda heavy, but they look the sh*t, icon gear is up to the standards of other gear in its price range, were a dealer for them as well as many other brands, so i get to try out alot of diff. stuff, the icon is all pretty decent,

btw those of you comfortable with hjc then didn't like icon because it was too tight
: hjc's fit poorly, way too loose, Icon's fit tight because that is how a helmet should fit, it should squeeze your cheeks and head in fairly tight, this is how all good helmets, agv, arai, etc... fit

here is a glow in the dark halo we did for a customer last year

 

Call me a ricer or whatever but I think that glow in dark paint is kinda cool.

 

it'd be ricey or whatever if everyone cought on to it, like anything else when it first comes out, seeing it in small doses here and there is cool, not tasteless, once pepboys gets glow in the dark fake carbon hubcaps, then its over

hell yeah, do it

 

that glow in the dark is pretty dope...
and i have both an HJC and an icon, and the Icon's quality is WAY better (not like its hard to do i guess)...BUT the HJC is lighter...which again makes me feel a little uneasy even...the icon's weight gives me a sense of security knowing it "feels" durable...whether or not it is.....welll i hope i dont have to find out...BUT again i know someone that went down on the freeway with an Icon helmet @ 80+mph and it held up like a champ
