Our Shoei Helmet RF1000

These are our Shoei RF1000 helmets, made in Japan, sold in USA.

The Pink Butterfly is "Flutter TC7" while the Angelic/Demonic winged is "Diabolic 3 TC5" Both ordered from Ebay and shipped from USA via Express United States Postal Service. Jean's Flutter arrived on 1 Sept 07 while my diablo was self-collected from Singpost on 11 Sept 07.

Why did we chose these designs, initially we wanted to choose a "couple" pair from local Shoei design but nothing from the Shoei X-11 were nice except for Kiyonari and maybe ITOH. Kiyonari look to "beng beng" while ITOH look very messy.

Jean and I searched on for other Shoei models from the net and found some nicer designs of similar grade to Shoei X-11 and maybe lighter. The Shoei RF1000 has nice designs but none were meant to buy as "couple" set, the next option was to buy something nice and more similar to each other. In the end, Jean found herself a Pink Butterfly Winged helmet while i got myself a Dual Angelic/Demonic Winged design. To us, both the design were unique of its own and some how similar in 1 way or another.

To correct other people's doubts on the RF1000 Diabolic 3 TC5 and Z5 Diabloic 3 TC5, yes both model has the exact same design but they are totally 2 different model. The Z5 Diabloic 3 TC5 can be found and bought in Singapore but not the RF1000 Diabolic 3 TC5, so far its only sold in USA.
