I've just purchased a new HJC IS-33 II helmet for summer use and have been looking to buy a peak visor for it. The only trouble is, it's neither a supplied or accessory item, over here in the UK or Europe. It would seem that this is only supplied with helmets , or as an accessory to HJC's U.S. customers. So, after a long internet trawl, I finally found a peak visor at Motorcycle Superstore.com, for the princely sum of $10.99. Hooray..... and they'll ship it over the pond too. Yippee..............for $49.99 ???
Anyone know of any other U.S. based HJC stockists that may ship me one over to blighty, without it costing me an arm and a leg?

The cheapest way is if somebody is ordering more than $100 anyway from Superstore to get the free shipping, buys it for you, then simply takes it to the local post office, then you PayPal them their cost. My guess is that shipping will be in the $15-ish range.
I'd do it but there's nothing I need at the minute.

If someone could do that for me, that'd be bloody marvellous. I'd owe them many beers!

I double checked after reading your post and it's $6.99 for shipping anywhere in mainland USA. For us over the pond it's $49.99, via UPS and I was unable to find any other shipping options either. ::007::

Thanks for the very kind offer Dogdaze. ::008:: I'd take you up on it too but the helmet's going back to the shop. It felt really nice when I tried it on in the shop but having sat on the sofa for about 20 minutes with it on last night, it slowly started to become very uncomfortable. Looks like i've gotten used to wearing Shoei's and budget helmets, however well made, just don't fit as nicely on my huge teutonic bonce. :-[
