There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Any good sources for Helmet deals? NeoTec 2?

It's going to be a very cold day in hell trying to find a "deal" on a Neotec II helmet. FWIW, I purchased a Neotec II in July 2021 at the dealership in NC where I purchased my Spyder in 2014. It had to be special ordered but the OTD price was three cents shy of $748, NC sales tax included. The parts guy at the dealership said it was the quietest helmet he'd ever worn. I originally had a Neotec that just got too worn to risk riding with it any longer. My Neotec II is much quieter than the Neotec and is more comfortable. I did not purchase the Sena comm device that is made for the Neotec II as my Sena 20S EVO was only a year old. It is an expensive helmet, but IMO, the value one places on the contents of one's noggin governs how much one is willing to pay for a helmet.

You can always find a "deal". I'd recommend trying on a few helmets that you may want. Once you find the one you want, order online from a CycleGear Revzilla or whatever site. A lot of times you can get 10% off of your 1st purchase online. Use that to purchase your helmet. There are also a few sites based in other countries that might have a deal on helmets and gear. You may have to verify if the helmet is DOT SNELL ECE certified though. Additionally, if you don't mind buying used helmets, you may be able to find a deal on an open boxed item from a local shop.
I haven't bought anything from here, but they're prices seem pretty good.

Do some research 1st though.

JAYBRO, I have the earlier model lid and love it. But it is time for a new as well. Just hoping not to pay 800.00 for it. The store I went to did say if i could put a group buy together they would take off 125.00 per ... I'll check around a bit more, I may get lucky...

I liked my Neotec very much too and didn't like paying as much for the Neotec II as I did and the parts guy said he hated the idea of trying to sell the II with the accompanying Sena system because it brought the deal over a grand. The dealership also had a lady whose primary job was switching comm sets from an old helmet to a new one at no charge to the customer and she did a phenomenal job on mine; got the ear speakers exactly where I needed them.
The first place I went looking after reading your post was to Revzilla as they were very helpful when we were shopping for a helmet for my bride, but the prices were all the same, even on ebay advertising new ones. If you could find a half dozen good friends who wanted new Neotec II helmets all at the same time you'd be very lucky and might be able to get a break.

I try to buy my riding gear from Cycle Gear as they give a 10% discount for vets. Both the wife and I wear Shark Eve One 2 helmets with Sena comms

When I last bought from him, the solid color (white) was $550 which was less than elsewhere. IIRC you had to call to get his “competitive” prices as dealers are not allowed to advertise more than a 10% discount.
Perhaps a phone call would be worthwhile……….
Good luck!

I don't like this response! I run a small retail store. I have people come in my store, try my stuff out hands on, then leave to go buy it cheaper on the internet. Bad Ju Ju man! Then they'll come back to buy supplies for the device they bought elsewhere from me. Sure I appreciate them buying from me, but still can't get over being their 'try it before you buy it somewhere else' person.
Apologies for the rant Mosess01.

Cycle Gear is a quality outlet for most everything in helmets and other clothing items you would use on a motorcycle, they also sell tires and some accessories. they generally have the best selection of helmets out there so you can go in and try on as many as you like untill yo find the one yo want. your Sena 20S will fit on ALL helmets.

I must agree, I always buy from the local shops and stores if I can. However Cycle Gear is in most towns across the country and are run by your local people. they most times have the largest selection....

Cycle Gear, Revzilla and J&P Cycles are all owned by Comoto Holdings. So there is no difference in any deals. If you are looking for a helmet Cycle Gear is good to go to because they usually have a good selection to try on. If you are in the Philadelphia area, Revzilla has a retail store with a wall full of helmets to select from. I own a NeoTech II helmet. I only use it in the winter because, for me, it doesn't have good ventilation. But the Sena units integrate perfectly into the helmet.
