I picked my helmet up from I/O Port in Lafayette, CA along the 24 fwy on the way up to Walnut Creek if you're coming from Oakland area.

I/O Port Racing Supplies
14 Juniper Drive
Lafayette, California 94549-3321 USA

Phone Numbers:
Local: 925-254-7223
Toll Free Order Line: 800-949-5712

He works out of his home, but he's stocked with gear and lets you try them on prior to purchasing. Pretty cool guy as I've met him again on the track after my helmet purchase.

Not in the East Bay but worth the drive for the great selection of gloves, suits, helmets, etc.

I have known Ken, the owner, for years. He is very helpful and knowledgeable.

I/O Port is where I went. I was happy. Never heard a bad word about the other shops, though.
