Extremely Limited Availability of 2015 Helmets?

[swartzentruber]

Anyone besides me still waiting on their back-ordered Bell SA 2015? As you can see from my earlier posts, originally ordered 3/29, still haven't received it -- Bell M.8 Black in Medium. At this point I don't really care since I was able to get through this year and likely next event in May 2017, but I've definitely had some thoughts on just cancelling my order and checking if somewhere else has them in stock by now. Ordered through store linked in second post.

I threw in the towel earlier this summer and just got an Arai. It actually fits me better than the Bell did.

I don't know what Bell's deal is with this whole factory move but they are foolishly building their most-popular/best-selling helmets in a lower priority fashion.

Ordering elsewhere isn't going to be significantly better, everyone is facing the same problems. If you don't need the helmet until next year, just keep your order and wait a little longer.

Similarly, I went with an Arai and am very happy other than it's white. A custom paint job will take care of that issue.
