• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Found some really nice price here:
http://www.extremesupply.com/category/ATV-Helmets-Kali.html
But then found this place with some serious closeouts:
http://www.leftlanesports.com/Search.aspx?k=kali
I used paypal and my platinum visa card for protection and got a closeout Kali Prana helmet for $95! I would have went carbon for @ $170, but they were all black and I want white for summer.
You have to become a "member" to check out so I expect a bunch of spam and the helmets are old colors, but I don't care.
:cheers:
 
Yeah, can't beat the price. I saw a few other similar deals on them, but all XL and I need SM. Current versions are mostly $250. Glad someone else has one and likes it, great reviews, so looking forward to it.
 
Claimed weight for the Prana FRP is 1250 grams! Hopefully it arrives tomorrow and I'll weigh it with my new dig scale :rolleyes:
 
Left lane sports website doesn't work for me... Gutted been after a Kali for two years no one imports the MX helmets here.
A close out lid would of been normal cost by time postage is added but so worth it.
I would of gone with Shiva tho as I've got a small head and require smaller helmets.
Currently the airoh running man is fine but kali have been in my sights.. NC Steve fancy bouncing one over?
 
Juicy, can't believe US site's can't ship it you? Hell, give velogear.com.au an email and ask the cost to post to the UK from Australia...bloody hell you should've picked one up whilst you were here!!
 
Yeah I did mean to go to MX shop but I was doing serious kilometres. Like 9k in under a month. Not much time for taking me an the 4 girls to bike shops lol.

They will ship but I can't access the left lane sports store may of ceased already.
The added cost of shipping and then import fees bumps the cost of things up so would have to be a cracking deal.
 
update: received the Kali helmet and it's very nice, just as described: light, well made, with padded case, typical helmet bag and extra cheekpads. Unfortunately sz SM is too small for me, so I ordered another in Medium. My head measures 57mm which is between sizes. I like to wear a sweat beenie anyway and think I can add 1 mm of something if necessary. Once I'm sure the Med fits I'll sell the small for what I paid for it, $95. PM me if interested.

Okay, sz SM is for sale. Med with a sweat beanie and the included smaller cheek pads fits well. Great deal on a very light fiberglass helmet with great safety features. I only tried it on, didn't use it. $95 + shipping, PM me if interested.
:cheers:
 
you guys might want to check the specs on those. Husky had helmets built exclusively for them by AGV but were not DOT approved. so were never sold here in the states. they were ultra light. which may b the reason... food for thought.
 
Thanks for the info. From what I've seen, Kali stresses their helmets are DOT and ECE approved. I also have an AGV AX-8 Evo, nice helmet, DOT and ECE approved, weighs @ 1340gr. On my cheapo new dig scale the Kali weighs @ 1280gr. Even the Med is a very snug fit, doesn't move around at all, very comfortable when riding and even walking around. I guess it feels a little better than the AGV which took a few rides to loosen up a little and feel good to me.
I'm happy with the deal and the sz SM is sold :cheers:
 
Well, I could have returned it for up to 90 days, but thought someone would want it.

Am I missing something? It seems all Airoh has is light weight, no advanced safety features :confused: Seems to me, if going with a extra light weight helmet, it damn well better have some seriously good padding to compensate. Last thing I need is dain bramage ;)
