Hi,
I am looking to buy a new Helmet. I want a real Pretty one with like a removeable half face shield. I saw some online that had a clear shield and a tinted one interchangeable. I am in New Jersey and want to know where there is a store that I can go in person that has Helmets like THESE. Maybe could be in a solid Pink color too. Thanks!:)

Please, please, please buy a full face helmet! The stats are floating around out there on the internet, a large percentage of impacts to the head are the chin area. Sorry in advance for being preachy....

Also buy a white helmet and paint it how you like, never buy a helmet for how it looks.

Thanks Websniper.:eek:

Also buy a white helmet and paint it how you like, never buy a helmet for how it looks.

You should never paint a helmet unless you really know what you are doing with regards to compatibility between the paint and the particular helmet material. Incompatible paints can lead to weakening of the helmet shell material.

IS White Greg. how can I paint it? I like it white though...I wanna another one...hey what do ya think of this one?

If you want a flip up type helmet, I would look for something like this instead...

http://www.helmetsetc.com/images/helmets/jafrum/jf-608-pink.jpg

I believe they are called Modular helmets. They offer the protection of a full face with the ability to flip open :thumbup:

That's NEAT ScraitT Thanks!!:thumbup:

Please, please, please buy a full face helmet!
After riding for 15 years, I switched over to a 3/4s helmet. I find it MUCH more comfortable than a full face. Less protection? Yeah, sure, but at some point you have to decide where the trade-off is between protection and comfort, and my point is with an open face.

The best helmet I have used is a Schuberth Helme Concept, but they nolonger sell them in the USA. You can pick up leftover DOT stickered helmets for $70 most are in white because few people wanted white. The chin flips up which makes it nicer to put on. They are quiet and don't get caught by the wind as much and many other helmets. I think they also have some guides on the type of paints that can be used to decorate them safely. The Concept and the C2 essentially look the same:

I love the full face on Ebay. The skull bandana is pretty cool also! I like pink helmets too but I don't know if it would go good with my red bike. What do you think? :confused:

Nope. Once it's on, it feels it belongs. Only problem is if you want to scratch your chin, but it's better than having no chin left to scratch.

YES Having a Chin is Nice!!:happy60:

Looks like I am gonna have to buy it online, cause of my Fancy Shmancy Taste.:o

Suggest going to a local store to try out a few off the shelf to determine the right size. Then order online.

While at the store, you could do some honest shopping - gloves, jacket, pants, boots...

... wind-proof lipstick. :D

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the butterfly helmet. Sooo kewl!! Anthony is right, I would try on some helmets first before buying online. Also, different brands fit differently, so keep that in mind.

Anthony:D LOLOLLL The wind-proof lipstick!!!!:p You know me!!! Hahahaha:happy40: But I know my size already, and I don't want to try on all kinds of helmets if they aren't the exact ones i want. I just want it NOW:D Impatient ARIES:outlaw4:

Impatient is a virtue - for an Aries. When ya get it, show us what ya got.

I'll Think about it:p But Yes the Impatience has proven to be a virtue, for the most part ;)

I believe they are called Modular helmets. They offer the protection of a full face with the ability to flip open :thumbup:

In my MSF course, the instructor had a modular helmet, he said they dont provide the same protection as a full face helmet because on a crash the part that flips open can break off :eek:

I wear a 3/4 the helmet. I've worn a full face in the past but found they hot and suffocating. I cant hear as well either. I guess I get claustrophobic in a full face. They do look cool though and of course the functional part. I do have to say, next summer I believe I will be purchasing the full open full face. That is AWESOME !

Those are kewl!!! Thanks for sharing! Kewl site too with creepy music and all! :eek:

Heh heh... I usually turn the music off. ;) It's tough to browse on a tiny 'netbook too (have to use Kiosk mode for it to format well enough for the small screen). If none of the pretty ones they have are your thing, they do custom designs too.

That first helmet looks like a G-MAX GM-17S. GMAX retail selection is kinda iffy, but I've seen them at Scooter Superstore in Tyrone, GA (all types), Cycle City Powersports in Newnan, GA (full face), Swamp Fox Motorsports in Tazewell/Bluefield, VA (Offroad/ATV), and Fun Bike Center (FBC) in San Diego, CA (a single solitary full face helmet). I'd look around because almost every place seems to have them as their cheap brand even though they only carry one or two. You'll likely have to order the design you want online (or special-order at the dealer), but at least you can try one on for size first. I never found an official GMAX dealer list but they aren't carried at Cycle Gear.

The second one is a KBC helmet. Unlike GMAX, they are widely available... for example, you can find them at all Cycle Gear stores and they can order the style you want if it's not in stock. KBC is considered a much better brand.

Please, please, please buy a full face helmet! The stats are floating around out there on the internet, a large percentage of impacts to the head are the chin area. Sorry in advance for being preachy....

I agree that it's important, but you must consider ALL the data. The chin piece DOES protrude. ;) That said, I'm still sticking with full-face non-modular. It's safer and it helps keep the noise down!

Jeez. My chin is exposed (sticks out maybe 1/2 cm with my new helmet). Should I be concerned?:ohno:

Not to hijack your thread or anything, but I have a similar helmet-related question. Sorry if this is dumb. I notice on a lot of websites, they don't differentiate between women's helmets and men's like they do with apparel. Are helmets uni-sex? In other words, if I wear a small, would a "small" fit me whether it was actually a lady's helmet or not? Thanks! And yes, pretty helmets THAT FIT are very difficult to find! Ally

I think this answers your questions

If they have an Xsmall then they normally consider them unisex.

I'm looking at my helmet again, and I think I have a HALF size one, cause the hard part of the helmet just covers my ears, then it has other material after that. I like this helmet too:o http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/women/womens+helmets/nolan_n30+helmet+-+pink+hearts# (http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/women/womens+helmets/nolan_n30+helmet+-+pink+hearts#)

Glad I could help!

I am confused as to what I own..oh well:confused:

I Just won this one on EBay :) http://71.18.114.11/ebay_img/hjmt_PINK_Flower.jpg

Congrats....a FULL helmet. Much better than a half helmet.

http://www.extremesupply.com/images/bell/bellmcyc/2006/drifter/xl/Bell_Drifter_GlossBlack.jpg

Yeah That seems Close to my style..maybe mine is a TEENY bit longer over the ears..the hard part. so my previous one is considered a Half. Thank You. WOW I didn't even get a 3/4 I jumped up to a FULL:eek: Guess I'll be Safer:) Thanks

Is THIS One considered a Half or 3/4? :confused:
http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/women/womens+helmets/nolan_n30+helmet+-+pink+hearts#

That's called an "Open Face"....look directly below this post at the advertisement. :D

Note: The advertisements are random, so you may see something else.

then what is a 3/4? LOL I am waiting for the seller to contact me, cause I gotta tell him I want the small size and to discuss the shield options, he's got clear, Grey I think and dark tinted. I might want a couple to change off:)

This is the full view of it http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280410849509&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:MOTORS:1123

I'll just get both:)

Full helmet will be warmer in the winter! :)

Hello my new Friend,
Yes warmer for those cold days!
I ordered the EBay Full Helmet, he is shipping it out tomorrow! YAY!:happy100:

thats a 3/4, 1/2 helmets do not have a windshield, think of what the harley riders wear (most of them at least).

ok I think I gotcha now...mine is a half cause I don't have a face shield...but a 3/4 means it's an open face with a shield;) I am gonna put decals on my white one, that is a half, then also I will add a shield and it will be a 3/4!! Voi La!:D

Thanks also KKim:)

but My half helmet is slighly longer than the Harley riders..mine goes halfway almost over my ears.:)

well, actually the difference is that 3/4 helmets cover the ears and neck area. most of the time 3/4 helmets have face shields but can be taken off.

Yeah mine is more like a half size, just slightly longer than the harley guy. yet not as long as that red one there.:) so then if I add a shield to mine, it still won't quite be a 3/4 it would then be a 2/3 lol

oh, i see. how do people ride with no shield anyway ? Sometimes I ride with my shield up at night when Im too lazy to swap visors and it gets unbearable at 35-40 mph. My dad who rides a harley just wears sunglasses on the freeway and even said my helmet is much more comfortable but I guess that's just the "look" :rolleyes:

I am so use to riding without a shield, and I am like Your Dad, I wear sunglasses in the day of course:cool::D Though I DO have a Nice windshield for my Bike:thumbup:

You didn't have a face shield?! :eek:

The other day, while at 70 mph, SPLAT! right in front of my right eye. How did I know? It could not see through the remains of that poor insect splattered on the face shield.

I am gonna put decals on my white one

Like what? "CUTE HEAD INSIDE"?

Tammy: I love the full face helmet that you won off of Ebay! Looks like you got a great deal on it too! I love the one with the hearts on it too, but the full face will offer far better protection and keep you warmer in the winter. You and I have very similar tastes in helmets! I like fancy shmancy also! :flower1:

You've gotten a lot of advice already on helmets. I for one would never ride with anything other than full face. This one is a modular (front flips up) quiet easily. I believe they also make ones with interchangeable visors. I prefer the clear and will just wear sunglasses.

To each their own. Best thing to decide is how safe you feel.
