Here in Okinawa, I've seen locals riding Harleys and wearing German style helmets. Can't figure that one out.

I remembered that some of you that frequent this forum are familiar with suppliers of same.

Would you be so kind as to post links in this thread and I will forward them to him?

Very much appreciated.
Pott. County Leather in Shawnee, Oklahoma carries a selection. It would be a nice ride and your friend could try before he buys.
