I never kne wmuch about kbc but when I saw the reaper helmet I just had to have it just because I have heard theyre a decent lid. I bought a shark helmet last year. their high end model in fujiwara colors. It is nice but I dont like the strap and it obscures my perephrial vision a bit esp compared to all my other helmets I have used in the past.

KBC's fit my head well so I'm sticking with the brand. They also have excellent customer service. The snap on my strap broke & when I called them to see if I could get another strap, they said they'd send a call tag & box for the helmet, replace it & ship it back at no charge. I'm going to do that after I get another helmet because it will be passed down to Mini-Me. It fits her much better than it does me now. I'm hoping by next summer to have her take the MSF & have a baby ninja for her as well so she needs better gear than what she's wearing now for 2up riding.

def stick with what works, I never even wore a kbc so I def want to try one on first to see how it fits. I will prolly try on a bunch at the bike show next month or try to get to a dealer so if I take an XL with the kbc I will get that reaper lid, cant beat that for a hundred bucks
