Anyone know where to get a good helmet for solo II for a good price? Looking to spend around 100 bucks.

Is that all your head is worth? You only have one head, you decide what it is worth.

Well, at $100 you're not going to find an SA-rated helmet. That is the biggest choice issue. I'm okay with M-rated since I don't figure to hit a roll bar repeatedly or go up in flames at stock stook Solo2.

Second big choice is open face/closed face. If you want cheap you want open face. I settled on a Shoei RJ-air helmet (M2000-rated) and it cost maybe $140 at a big cycle shop.

Buckle-up!

For my money, HJC has the best quality cheap helmets. An M95 CL12 Full Face goes for little more than $100. You won't get anything with a fire retardant liner for anywhere near $100
