Helmet Skin (covers)
I have a helmet in perfectly nice, new condition. I don't wear it because the design on it is specifically for the Suzuki Hayabusa. I thought about having it custom painted, but then I realized, it will probably cost the same as a new lid. Plus, I'm not a fan of airbrush designs - not really my style. I thought of maybe they make decals to cover the helmets, and when I was looking online, I came across "helmet skins". I think these are a really neat and inexpensive alternative to purchasing a new helmet or painting a helmet. The problem I have is I cannot find designs I like. What I have found are: flames, skulls, tribal designs, scary evil clowns, camouflage, etc. None of those are my style. A lot of them are geared towards men, IMO. I finally found a site called: helmetdress.com and they have EXACTLY what I am looking for - only problem is they are located in Spain and the prices are in pounds. I emailed the company and have yet to get a response about whether or not I can purchase the item and have it shipped to me in the US. I wouldn't be surprised if I never hear from them.
So, long story (sorry) short: does anyone have any websites to suggest I take a look at what helmet skins they have??

Yes, SkullSkins.net has some pretty gaudy designs. They offer custom designs but it's WAY too much money. I know because I wanted one that would make my full-face helmet look like CPT Falcon from F-Zero (3/4 helmet so it needs a false chin). Perhaps we could get a custom Ninjette.org design for cheaper if enough of us sign on for one?

I don't remember where I saw it (because I was clicking on SOOO many links looking and digging for the 'right' skin) but I did see an option to purchase some that required a minimum order of 300-500 or something like that. LOL
I wanted a skin that matched my new leather jacket. I hate that I found the 'perfect' one but I can't get my hands on it. Or at least I have no idea how to.

I ordered one of there things that goes over the visor from Skullskins. It did not fit my visor correctly, so I put it on my laptop It was a cool product if it had fit correctly.

it was for a ICON helmet, it wasnt too big, it just didnt go well on it, like my visor was too curved for it or something.

I actually received a response from the place in Spain. I copied and pasted the email from them here:
Dear Joann, It is no problema you make us order from United States. Costo of transport for orders under 30€ is of 10€ For order above this amount transport is free Delivery is around 10 days Thank you in advance Jordi Ylla Helmet Dress SL Customer Support Service I have no clue on how to place or pay for an international order, even though I asked in my original email. Oh well. Guess I'm SOL on this idea.
