Default helmet

I like the old 70's style open face helmets. I don't them in any stores here in the atlanta area. You see them worn on a lot of the TV shows. Any of you WELL-SEASONED riders know what I'm talking about? Thank you.

Found what I was looking for. Store called Justified Defiance has 70's vintage helmets refurbished. They sit lower on head, No Bubble head. Retro cool.

justified defiance sells 'em but theyre n.o.s.[must have found a warehouse full of them] so theyre hella expensive!
[custom airbrushing etc.]
daytona just started selling a "new" helmet that looks just like the old ones......for about $50!!

b.t.w ive been buying a few off ebay and refurbishing them myself..i love these old things!

I went on a search here in the uk for a 70s style lid, the guy in the local store told me about a that Davida were realeasing a helmet that fitted the bill,
2 months later they finaly went on sale.
It was worth the waite, it's the coolest 'minimalist' helmet around.
Not sure if they ship to the states though[:-]?.

Haven't seen any 70 style helmets ... I'm in the market for a full face (light weight), if anyone has any suggestions on these (or links to any reviews), I'd love to know ... thanks.
