Hello I had a question (mainly for the Oahu riders). I want to get my wife a helmet for when we go 2 up (she will def make this bike look sexy). She absolutely loves hello kitty and I was hoping to get her a hello kitty helmet. any suggestions??

Don't they have a site where you can custom order helmet wraps? You could design your own. (I wish I could remember the site name. Maybe someone on the boards knows what the heck I'm talking about!)

Hmmm, interesting, Sarah Palin ad on a page talking about helmets, or was it the kitty part that triggered it. vedy intewesting

nb

you can paint the bike like this too.

all i could find was the same helmet as kim. it is the yamaha yf-3k. tried searching the japanese websites and i found one site that has it, but it is a different color. can't read the info on it.

other than that, as already suggested, maybe some sort of wrap or stickers?

translated that site:
Product Description
Color: Blue
Size: XS
Standards: JIS2000, unlimited / SG Standard
Other colors are here
<Akira Makoto Option Parts>
● SG (Safety Good) 1.5 standards that require shock absorption than standard clear JIS200
● BENCHIRESHONSHISUTEMU (?) features around, and a comfortable riding
● One-touch-tone system removable shielded (UV-CUT, pre-processing hard court)
Taenia ● One-touch buckle chin expression
● with reflectors

doesn't seem that they use dot or snell as a safety standard in japan. idk.

Now you've done! My wife saw this and starting screaming : I want that!
Now I have to get my 06' black painted like this for her when i get my new bike!
Thanks alot Sound Wave! :rolleyes:

Alan - you can give her some more ideas from this thread (http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=6835). Hope she doesn't like the powerpuff girls.

My girfriend's helmet Icon Kitty. They have it in a powder blue as well which looks pretty good.

Icon kitty and Hello kitty are two different animals!
But the helmets are nice and a good pink color to sticker it up!

OMG I want that bike :)

OMG ... she does ... Thanks Alex :)
But she likes the Hello Kitty best

I know there's a difference in the two zartan. It's just the availability of a true Hello kitty helmet is practically non existant here. Just offering options:thumbup: The Icon kitty could have hello kitty on the sides and sassy kitty on the back.

a great base color to sticker or paint up!
It would look awesome.

I think a few stickers and a coating will a pearl infused clear would look pretty good.:thumbup:

sweet kitty!!

great thanks guys. I really want the girliest helmet ever so if a friend needs a ride he will be very uncomfortable

alsacorp.com has some pink glittery flakes that you can mix with a clear. Nothing more girly than a sparklie girls pink helmet with hello kitty stickers. Your buddy would be owned.

You might want to do some research on painting and stickers on helmets and how they can potentially compromise the helmet's integrity depending on the adhesives and helmet materials involved.

Yea, some Chems in paints can Eat away at some of the Polycarbonite shells, fiberglass helms! But i think if your helmet was fiberglass shell, your less likely to have those problems of it 'cracking easier' if dropped or in a crash once painted!

i was actually just linked to this forum from gtamotorcycle.com and couldnt help but read this thread. I actually saw this helmet locally for sale, now that you've mentioned its hard to obtain cause of the language barrier, I should probably grab it before its gone.

welcome Andy!

I thought i saw a Hello Kitty helmet when i was looking for mine but can't remember if it was custom painted or what.

There are TONS of HK decals out there as well... (I should know I saw like twenty this weekend alone) so if worse comes to worse, buy her a pink helmet and slap a few decals on it :)
