I'd very much like to prove this myth busted, as I LOVE these helmets and they are like new. I got them from a one owner and he took very good care of them and rarely had them out/on.
Well...you can ship them to Shoei for a free inspection,if I'm not mistaken. They'll let you know if they are ok to use,heck they may offer to refurbish them for you for a fee. I don't know if any company does that anymore though...
