The helmets were with all kinds of extra stuff, so why would there be reason to suspect they were not part of the deal?
If the belief is the helmets were not part of the deal, would it not also follow that the pile of extra parts were not included as well?
Around here, it is quite common to buy a used bike that comes with a helmet.

If the guy finally got the deal done on a new bike two weeks later. Is it not reasonable to think that was the first time he went looking for the helmets. Not likely that someone buys two new helmets and decides to never ride again.
I would not have wanted them back if the person had been using them. Especially with the temps we been having so far this summer.

Beating a dead horse here - but you didn't put the helmets in the tour pac and you told the man the truth that you thought they were included with the sale along with the other items, you wore them and offered to return them - he declined.

Aaahhh! The thread that keeps on giving.
With ALL due respect, having a different opinion doesn't make the rest of us insane.

Would you want a helmet that someone has been using for a couple weeks in 90+ temps? Not me.
If a cashier handed you too much change would you keep it? Character check time.
I wonder how some of the answers would be if the role was reversed and the OP's helmets had been left in the tour pak.
Or possibly the bike was traded in at a dealership and the helmets left in the tour pak.
I don't think we are getting the whole story from the OP.

I am the op.
The seller was getting rid of his HD because he wasn't riding anymore.
What he gave me was not a box of junk. It was all the original parts that had been replaced along with an extra seat. I honestly believe he was purging all things Harley.
I only posted in the first place because of a boring rainy afternoon. I wasn't looking for absolution, just sharing my experience.
I do sleep very well. I offered to return them. I feel no further obligation.
