Go for the white and have some crazy black/red/silver pinstriping on it. SWEET!! By the way these liners in these helmets are so comfy,\.

Actually when we painted stuff at work, the black took paint and didn't bleed through as easy as white did...

I talked to shawn today at www.imperialhouse71.comand im getting a matte black biltwell with gold/silverleaf flame design on it with gloss black pinstripping. He's gonna e-mail me the design tomarrow. Looking forward to seeing it. $215.00 for helmet and work. I was thinking of comming up with something myself as well as doing the work but looked at his style and gave him a call. We'll see what he comes up with. That megaflake RB sceme sure is nice...

Well I have to be the traitor here. I just ordered a Fulmer v2 in GOLD flake and am anxiously awaiting the UPS man too. I'll be out at the truck when I hear it on the corner. I got an older helmet off ebay (From someone in Adrian, MI, is taht you jed?) and it was way too big for me. Sold it for twice what I paid in two days. So , I went and tried on Fulmers and ordered the right size for me. I don't care if it matches, GOLD is just bad to the bone. Besides, of the people I ride with one has the silver fulmer and another the blue. I gotta set my own trend. I'll post pics when it gets here. We do have a helemt law so DOT is mandatory for me, especially having been ticketed for a non DOT helmet in the past. I need need that kind of hassle.

That's what I was wondering when I was looking at the Biltwell helmets. So I ended up buying an early 1970's white helmet off ebay for like $36.00. I'm gonna paint it. It's perfect except the little piece of foam that goes in the very top. The vintage helmets have really came down in price lately. I'm still thinking about getting a Biltwell later too.

Chop On,
Robert
