Premium Member DavidS Posted June 11, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted June 11, 2018 Helmets are very difficult to fit (at least for me) off the internet. My suggestion is to find a local dealer and go try a bunch of helmets on in the showroom and find what shape head you have, and which helmets fit the best. Even if it costs a bit more, it's much cheaper than having to buy a different helmet after riding for a few months because it doesn't really fit very well. Each manufacturer makes the helmet sized slightly differently, so make sure you try on the helmet you want to purchase before making your final decision. As for luggage, I bought the Shad side bags and top bag. They are well made, and look good on the bike. Shad can be a pain to deal with, so find a dealer (or internet store) that sells them, and you should be fine. They install very easily, and can re-keyed so they all use the same key. Hope this helps, and good luck..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panooch Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Agree with David, go to showroom and try on several helmets. Hopefully you find a salesperson who knows what their doing and can fit you properly. Take your time and get a good one. Choosing the Tracer as your first bike, you definitely want a good helmet so don't buy a cheap one. Expect to pay between 1900 for a lower end to 4750 Krone for a real good full face helmet. I would suggest only buying online once you know exactly which brand, model and size fits you correctly and works best for you. Shuberth, Arai, Shoei, AGV, HJC and Bell all make great helmets but fit slightly different. Hopefully you have a standard shaped head which makes the process much easier.

iversen Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 Thank you for reply. I have to look for a dealer in DK for this helmet. I look at this shark helmet becouse the feture that it can be a open helmet when it's hot and I am crusin around. I don't know the rules in UK but in DK it's no allowed to drive whit a open flip up helmet but you can drice whit this. I know it's a big mouthfull but it was this or a tiger 800 and this one was alot cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hi @iversen, welcome to the forum. helmetcity is a reputable dealer in the UK if you end up buying from them, but it is good advice to try the helmet for fit with your head shape first. Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainscarlet Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hi @iversen , welcome to the forum. helmetcity is a reputable dealer in the UK if you end up buying from them, but it is good advice to try the helmet for fit with your head shape first. I can second this. I purchased my current lid, a Shoei GT Air, from Helmetcity last year. Extremely good price and free shipping to Sweden. I recommend them.
