FS: Arai GP5-k Helmet

Helmet is on ebay
Ebay links are prohibited - Staticlag
reserve price is $550

Brand new in box never worn except to check fitment Arai GP5-K for sale. Size is XL 23.5", hat size 7-1/2, 60cm. Color is matte black pearl. Rated SA2005. Like I said, the helmet is brand spanking new with the visor protection still on it and all that good stuff. Free of blemishes, scratches and defects. Arai makes the most comfortable helmets on the market by far. There's a reason why more pros choose Arai more than any other helmet!

The new Arai GP-5k is largely based on its big brother, the GP-5, while offering a more affordable alternative for drivers not wanting all the features of the more expensive GP-5. The GP-5k is heavily favored by sedan or rally drivers, who do not require all the upper ventilation found on the GP-5 while at the same time appreciate the slightly larger eyeport opening (Approximately 10mm - 5mm up and 5mm down).

Constructed of Arai's exclusive CLC (Complex Laminate Construction) shell technology, which is less costly and slightly heavier than their lightest SCLC material, allowing for a lower retail cost, while still providing the same level of impact energy management. The exterior and interior shape and design are identical to those found on the GP-5 and utilizes the same shield, shield hardware and tear-offs. Upper ventilation is comprised of a single intake and single exhaust duct. Snell SA2005 Certified

I'm selling it because I purchased the helmet after I got my taxes back this past year with the hopes of racing in 2010. Since then I've lost 60lbs and a lot of weight in my face to the helmet is quite loose and not safe for me to wear. Since it's been 6 months since I got the helmet from discovery parts I can't just swap it out for a smaller size. Like I said, the helmet is brand spanking new with the visor protection still on it and all that good stuff.

the price is $625 with free shipping via UPS to the lower 48 states. that's a savings of at least $50 if you purchase this helmet from any online dealer. I will ship outside the lower 48 for 50% of the cost of shipping.

feel free to email me if you have any questions or are interested at planb13sts(at)yahoo.com
