Cool Biltwell Gringo full face?

Anybody looking at getting one. I like em. Pretty bare bones. Would be my first full face.

Nice but I prefer the flip up because it's more versatile

Nice helmet. Been looking for a full-face, and I think this fits the bill. Thanks for the link.

[EDIT] Couldn't resist and just ordered the matte black one. Will post pics when I get it.

I'll probably end up getting one before next winter. I really like their novelty 3/4 helmets.

Without the shield ratcheting mechanism found on current FF's, it has a clean look.

Any updates on your motor build? You ready to fire it up?

I have to put my primary togather and also install my exhaust. Had to sand the rust off and re paint. I'm hoping to have it fired by saterday. The under pipe on the Fatcat was rusting pretty bad. Should be good for a few more years.



Almost there. Hijacked my own thread!
