Default Helmet

I took a visor off my helmet so now I have two holes in the side. What can I use to fill and repair the holes. They are the size of a rivet. Thanks.

Epoxy. If you can fill them from the inside put some tape over the hole on the face side, apply the epoxy from the back and when dry take off the tape. The holes will be filled flush.

If your not wanting to repaint the helmet you can try getting (i forget thier name) the little push fasteners for fenderwells and interior trim that are used on automobiles. They come in many different sizes however ive only seen them in either white or black plastic at the auto-parts store.Not sure the look your goin for butits a possible alternative. Another idea would be to get a couple of the chrome H.D. allen head button covers they sell at the dealer. They have those in 3 sizes.
