RE: helmets
^ That's a very interesting website.
Are they noticeably smaller than the standard Fulmer half-helmet? That's what I have.
I also have one of those little beanie helmets, but I never wear it. It's uncomfortable, and the wind noise is much louder. (I know that sounds weird, but it's true.)
I'd like to find something in-between. Those carbonfiber.com helmets look like they might be?

RE: helmets
I bought a helmet from ACC.
www.carbonfiberhelmets.com
I had a bear of a time getting it adjusted, and it still aint right.Ive tried all the pads and tightened it down to choke level and it still lifts off my head and slides back as soon as I hit anything around 70.
Ive heard many great things about thier stuff so Ive came to the conclusion that its my head thats defective and not the helmet..LOL
Right now I wear a 1969 Bell 1/2 helmet with a baseball cap under it.
Id love to find a helmet thats comfortable without the mushroom head BS...........

RE: helmets
I know what you mean. Harley people on Foster had a chrome one. That was it. I like chrome and all, but not to wear on my grape. I leave oki next month, and my new Lowrider is being delivered stateside in 6 days!!!!
