arai is definitely a great helmet. I've never owned one but I have worn them and they are really good. If I could afford another helmet right now I'd like to try it. I've heard a lot of good things about their customer service as well, its a family company which is cool
oh and wrong section

Yeah I know it's the wrong section, but since I got a 600RR I just post here for my fellow brethren.

I'm a Shoei fan myself, but they're certainly the top two out there. I'm considering getting the bottom end Arai for a second helmet for passenger, either one though.
When you say shield holder, is that one of the pieces that cover the hinges of where the shield flips up or down?

I had a similar experience with Arai customer service. I had just bought a new Arai...and was putting in my face shield to wear it for the very first time. Well, the phone rang, it distracted me and I pushed a little too hard in the wrong direction and popped off the cover on one of the shield retainers. It broke one of those little plastic clips.
I was heartbroken. The next morning, I called them to order a new one (fearing I'd have to wait weeks and pay $50 or so)...but the lady on the phone was awesome, and said it happens, warrantied out the part to me, Priority Mail, no charge. Had the part on my helmet in 2 days.
Arai earned my business for a long time right there.

Almost exactly what happened to me. Those damn little plastic clips!! Luckily my shield could still stay on, but I couldn't open it to air out so everytime I came to a stop it would fog up. But all is good now and I have the piece of mind again that my head is being well protected.
dwhite, yeah the shield holders are the side coverings that hold the shield/visor in place and cover up the hinges/latches.
BB you're right, all riders are my brethren and I'll be sure to re-post this for everyone to read. Ride safe boys (and girls too of course).

the scorpion is the same quality as agv, shoe and arai, it's only 2 bills and the inside comes out (all of it) and you wash it in the washer with your laundry, the sheild is awsome 2 secons to change and you can do it with the helmet on I bought 5 helmets (between 300 and 500) and sent them back couse this one was the best.

I rock a Scorpion Exo 700 Raider helmet. Best helmet I've ever purchased.
