My other halfs new crash helmet arrived today so he went out to frighten little old ladies!

That looks really cool...

hah, yeah. quite a good one that.

gotta say tho, I had a simpson once and it was not great - takes away soooo much peripheral vision. ruddy good fit tho.. and the fire retardent neck lining was better than any scarf.

Loving that!! Looks awesome!

:lol::lol:

That scares the shite out of me!!! :lol:

Never seen anything like that before. I assume its legal:biggrin:

Thats so cool, where did you get it from?

WOW!!! Awesome helmet!!!! Love it ....the Duke`s rather nice too, mahoosive front discs!!! :)

Omg - that's now top of my Christmas list!!!

Peripheral vision is fine for me. Only time it could possibly be even hinted at being less is when you turn your head to look behind when getting ready to set off. It is only noticeable then. Oherwise it's fine. I should say though, its not a Simpson (too expensive to justify it for the use I had in mind as this isn't my 24/7 helmet). It's a Bandit XXR. Based on the Simpson rex shell if memory serves. If I had to say anything negative about the helmet, it would be the inability to shut off the vents and the draught on your face. But a neck warmer or refit of the visor may cure that. Only time will tell.

Forgot to add, for those who don't already know, I am Roobarbs other half.

Erm... Nice helmet isn't it? Anyway, what was the question? Erm... Nope, memory like a sieve me. All joking aside, the bandit Alien 2 is similar and is legal for uk use. Albeit there could be potential issue with dark visors and the painted visors.

Top of my head I can't remember the company. I will post it up tomorrow if I get chance. They do the job to order. They already did the clowns on the bandit fighter 2 (there were two versions of the clowns and I obviously chose the one I liked, well, the other half had input too, which was surprising as she hates clowns). Process was choose helmet and specify design, pay the guy and wait four to six weeks for it to be done. Cost is based on what you want and any extra work.

moving on, the bandit fighter 2 is street legal if memory serves (and cheaper than mine, but with a larger visor area). There was nothing to stop a buyer designing their own for him to do, but I really liked the clown I got, so job done. The back of the helmet is also personalised with some other flashy artwork rather than just being a totally white helmet. The only reason I haven't shown the back is because I want to keep mine unique to me while breaking up the sea of white. It would have worked fine just as a clown, but I wanted more.

 

I was already taking a bit of a gamble in having the job done on an XXR as it wasn't the usual target for the clown face. He did a good job though so no complaints.

 

The actual bare helmets are here for anyone wanting more info on shapes and styles (and legalities for countries and states etc). http://www.bandithelmets.co.uk/

It should have read 'based on the Simpson bandit RX' not rex. I cannot edit posts so this was the only way to correct it. I still haven't worked out how to do multi quotes on the iPad either while on the forum, so sorry for the individual answers. Roobarb said if I didn't answer Toni

ht I wouldn't get fed tomorrow, so hopefully these are good enough for now.

It is a nice helmet and a very nice bike mate:thumbup1:

That looks really cool...

 

Agreed!!!!

 

Richard:thumbup1:

Helmet looks cool and the bike is just lush!

I think you should wear the helmet 24/7 as it's a definite improvement :kiss:.

Thats so cool, where did you get it from?

 

He got it from a company called Graf X
