Here's mine atm, but I will be adding some silver reflective tape in the pattern of the silver butterflies soon

minuslars · September 21st, 2009, 09:43 PM

I've got a plain white Scorpion EXO-400 right now, but I am hell bent on having one of them AGV S-4 dealies (prolly the blue/white). That goes with a yellow bike, right?

+1 to the AGV owner on the first page. Those helmets just do it for me.

Just got my Vemar VSREV in the mail today. Can't beat a top of the line Italian racing helmet that retails at $475 for $130!

And here are a couple links:

I got the symbol printed as a reflective decal for safety and style, and plopped it on my weak spot.

I recognized it.

That said, where did you get it made?

I didn't really expect much when buying this helmet. It got a great review from webBikeWorld.com and as a sub ~200 helmet, I just went for it. Gets lots of comments, people like the vent styling (not shown off as well in the picture) and how it isn't covered in crazy graphics.

Is it wrong that I like the 2 helmets posted here that have red/black flowers on them?

My GMAX shields break like crazy and are an absolute pain to install/swap. It's so difficult to do without breaking one that I wouldn't even think of swapping between the free shaded shield and the clear one at night or else I'd risk having NONE. :| Unlike you GM-68S, mine is the GM-58S (previous year model, same shield, no lights and far fewer vents but has Snell at least). It whistles like *crazy* (ear-piercing high-pitch), the top vents don't seem to make a difference when toggled between closed/open, the shield doesn't close all the way on the XL size, and the leather-like cloth flaps at the bottom are all cracked up/rotting. It's saving grace is the extreme suitability for installing intercom/bluetooth kits. The mesh area in the front for a boom mic, the space for clamping a unit between the separable shell and the padding, the easy routing or wires for flat speakers, and (get this) the actual pockets with acoustical holes for speakers in the removable side pads. Granted, I had to stuff those cloth pockets with tissue and stick my speakers on the outside (they have a velcro-like back side that sticks perfectly) if I ever expected to hear anything. Even now, I'm contemplating integrating some earmuffs. I'm going to lose my hearing!

The visor is behind plastic covers at the two pivot points. The graphics are on the covers, not the visor.

Oops... didn't mean to call it a windscreen.

So, the covers are attached to the shield and can be removed when replacing it?

There is a mechanism attached to the shell of the helmet. The visor is attached to this mechanism, allowing the visor to pivot. The covers are then attached to this mechanism... over the visor, they aren't attached to the visor.

Thanks. So, I guess they stay where they are when you lift the shield?

gogoKawi · October 9th, 2009, 02:32 PM

I'm still trying to figure out what helmets I like. No matter what, something is always wrong with the fit. I've tried dozens. But, these are the 2 I've settled with for now.

fastmark63 · October 9th, 2009, 03:36 PM

oh sorry guys its Vemar CKQI ....FUNNY NAME BUT YOU GOT TO LIKE THAT FIGHTER PILOT STYLE there is a chin bar attachment to make it a full face helmet ...MARK

ScorpionNinja · October 13th, 2009, 05:56 PM

Mod that with Ears, into the Batman Helmet (limited 1,000) leather dark knight suit!

CZroe · October 13th, 2009, 07:05 PM

Guys, I found something AWESOME. But first...

...Is anyone in this thread good with image and graphic design? I don't even have the applications to open the templates, much less, the skills to do anything with it.

Edit: OIC, it's just JPEG. My work PC just has something wrong with the file associations.

I'd send my broken windscreen for reference and pay someone if they could do it professionally.

Yeah, "templates" was a big clue. I'm talking about custom helmet/shield skins. More specifically:
www.SkullSkins.net

They look like those stratchy book covers you use to protect school books. The shield stickers are probably one-way graphics that look like tinting from the inside like those sports team logo sunglasses you see everywhere. I'm sure it's a world better than stretching pantyhose over the helmet and painting that.

It would help cover my blemishes, hide my expensive SK4000 Bluetooth kit and ugly helmet cam mount (it's the crappy Tony Hawk "toy" helmet cam) and route wires to an extended battery pack that I'll mod in myself.

See my avatar? Yeah. Captain Falcon (F-Zero). That's what I'm lookin' to make. Samus Aran's (Metroid) powersuit helmet would be pretty cool (specifically, the Varia Suit), though other gamers would probably prefer Master Cheif's (Halo).

Captain Falcon would be simple and would match my blue bike, which I will name "Blue Falcon" like his well-known hovercraft (F-Zero is actually a futuristic racing game). Because it's so simple, it would only require:
A red helmet skin with a false chin and two partial yellow circles on the side
A shield sticker that completes the yellow circle (it would go over the hinge area instead of the viewport) and adds the bridge of a nose between/below my line of sight and triangular "eyes" in the shaded area.

Google Image Search "Captain Falcon" for some official art. He's supposed to be an uber-generic chiseled-jaw superhero (it was Nintendo's attempt and being deliberately campy).

Decided to get a new lid. Scorpion exo-700 Hollywood.

KTRacing38 · April 18th, 2010, 05:46 AM

I love my Shoeis! I've crashed a bunch of them and have never had a head injury so I stick with what I know works!

I had the red one and the black one. The red one got run over by some idiot showing off in his sports car in a parking lot. He destroyed 6 helmets and almost knocked over a row of bikes. It was an expensive day for him! One of the guys I was with was an off-duty cop. He wasn't impressed that this guy destroyed his helmet. The black one was my replacement.

Race Helmet

Backup race helmet

My street lid (and cold weather helmet!)

And my favourite one - my dirty biking lid

Alex · April 18th, 2010, 04:40 PM

Just picked up a Shoei RF-1100. Wasn't happy with how my Arai Profiles were fitting, even after a bunch of work to try and get them to fit better. Used to not fit well into Shoei, but with the newgen 1100 it suddenly fits better than I had expected.

Alex...
That is a great helmet. I just bought one last week and wore it around- too tight and the next size up too big.

So had to return it.
That is why I want back to Arai with the Corsair V you can even change up the lining.
I think if the guys at the dealer were just a bit more patient with me I would have not gone to the OTHER dealer and upgraded to the Corsair. They lost a pretty big sale on that and I was ready to order a jacket also.
At the other dealer....
The Sales gal there really knew her stuff, while the other guys didn't even know what was interchangable.
They just thought I was a crazy but I was just having a hard time finding the right shape.

Lesson to be taught to sales peep. Take the time to learn your product and listen...
