I found these while browsing Japanese websites (only in Japan). Cool but expensive @ approx.$500

Sorry, it does sound kind of bad when I put it that way.  shog  What I meant was that I would ruin it by wearing it every day in all manner of nasty weather, bugs, etc.  Hap1

 threadjacked How do you guys remove the white marks rocks leave behind.

Those are some sexy helmets, I dont know if I could spend that much. Although, Ive never tried on a shoei. I typically go for a helmet with a snell rating and that feels good on my head and wallet.

That is a really nice helmet. I'm so cheap that I would have no choice but to wait until it ended up on the closeout section though.  giggle

I believe the coating on helmets is a type of clear coat. As long as the scratches and nicks aren't too deep, then you should be able to remove them with a rubbing compound and wax.
