SaitouSad Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Is it still possible to order one of these? I'd love a Kakizaki helmet... What's the price estimate on one of these things? Seconding this. Wouldn't mind a Fokker colour version at that price point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikuro Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Last time I talked to Masei, I was told it was somewhere between 160-270 and would take 6 months to complete. That pretty much turned me off from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurisama Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 A $110 difference is a big deal - the time to wait isn't so much for me - but I would be down for one for sure if there was a 100% guarantee I would get one, even if i had to wait 6 months.

Kurisama Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 How does one measure ones head for this thing? They come in different sizes right? And yeah, final production shots from a few angles would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I went to the masei website and looked at the size chart, then I looked what size my snowboard helmet was and got the size that match the measurements. I guess you could take measuring tape and wrap it around your head, or go to a sports shop and try on different helmets, he'll you could go to a bike shop and try motorcycle helmets there too.

Murphy Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) I believe this is the masei helmet, if you look at the glass it's not a dark blue like the yamato. I think. And the glass looks not as bulbous. Masei version Pre-production Masei I think Yamato one I think the masei one looks good, plus its way cheaper than the Yamato one and is DOT certified. Which means if I had a bike I could wear it. Plus you can get it in any size. Can't wait to get mine, I'm getting the Hikaru version, if I like it I might get the Roy one as well, not sure if they are making max's, I know they are making other colors schemes not just normal such like black and yellow.

Phalanix Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I received a reply from Masei Helmets in regards to my e-mail reservation. Thanks! we have red/white yellow/black blue/white black matt black gray/whiteplease keep in touch in facebook page for this update.. we keep and save your emailand when ready, we will email you and pay via Paypal for it. US$189 for the first 200 unitslater, it is US$289.. now we have hundred people made reservation so far. They don't have a yellow/white for Roy like the one in their picture on Facebook? LOL I wonder if they mean that's the yellow/black? Wrote back, waiting for them to confirm. But since I already have a Yamato Roy helmet, I might spring for a Max or Hikaru. Though Yellow/Black or black doesn't sound too bad, even if non-canon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I wonder if they have a list already. I know I contacted them the moment this went up and I know they said they'd add me on there, but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikos0311 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) This is the response I got last night. From the looks of it, I take it they have more or less around 100 reservations for the helmets. Hey Erick: Thanks for your email. and we keep and save your email now. When ready, we will email you for this. The first 200 units is only US$189 including shipping fee. Later, it will be US$289 including shipping fee. We have red/white, yellow/black, blue/white, matt black, black/white for you. They will be ready before November as scheduled. So, we get hundred of people in reservation. I was thinking on writing them back to ask and see if I made it into the 200 slots and get the helmet for the $189.00 initial price.

Kicker773 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I'm still a little bit uncertain with that BIG of a price difference in being on the initial run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie addict Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I sent an email as well, haven't gotten a response yet though. Same here. Hope to be in the first 200.

Benson13 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Aaaaaand the lost me with no Roy colors. The original selling point and Roy colors had me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurisama Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Then why have they shown the Roy colour on top of the Honda petrol tank>? Anyways, they're going to upload their FB in 2 weeks with production shots - as per their e-mail to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadeye_281 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I'd be in for one of these as well, but I'd like a pre-order setup a little more formal than just an email sent into a big waiting list in the sky. I'm not sure if I'd get a Hikaru or a Roy but either one would be a hoot to wear on my V-rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahab Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I was told that my email was saved and would be contacted before December and that updates will be posted. I'm cautiously optimistic about this. Missed out on the Yamato's.... -Ahab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
