Shoei NXR / RF1200 / Z7 - Terminus TC-9 Med NEW

[el_scor_cho]

Hey all,

I purchased this helmet from Ebay after hunting for this specific design around all the local bike shops with no luck. Its the Z7 model (japanese version) which I was assured was exactly the same sizing as the NXR. :oi-grr: Nope...

It runs slightly smaller that the NXR, so if you are a small-medium, this would be ideal. Its a gorgeous lid and im gutted it wont work for me.

Anyway, im looking to send her back in the next few days and take the hit on GST and shipping charges. So if anyone is interested, let me know. It comes with the usual gear; pinlock insert, some oil, extra pads etc.

I have tried it on in my lounge just the once. :facepalm:

Cheers!

Sorry to hear about your experience. A sales guy did warn me about this when I was buying a helmet last year.

He also mentioned that some manufacturers sell different helmets in the US and Europe, as American heads are a different shape. Didn't sound right to me, but it's a strange world.

If you want to salvage this thing you could always buy thinner cheek/top pads from ebay. These helmets are very "modular" in their sizing.

Cheers. I knew the risk and took a punt, ah well. I've read DOT Shoeis demand a unique shell shape but was convinced the others were the same.

Not a bad idea; unfortunately I was on the verge of nabbing a L so this lid would only work with minimal/no pads.
