Do you have a favorite SA2005 rated helmet?

I need to get a new one and I am trying to narrow down my choices.

Mike,
I am looking forward to seeing your helmet. Tyler is great to work with and does fantastic paint work. I had him paint my Arai GP5. I am planning to send him my Bell M-3. Additionally if Sparkhill wants a Bell or Simpson I have some great racer pricing.

Very cool! I recognize your helmet from his site.

I went with a very basic design. I wanted simple Senna style stripes in darker colors but all flat, no gloss. I added our company logo and my name.

I hope to see it shortly. I have a few events coming up and need it back...

I will post up some pics when I get it.

Get a Bell full face. I use the Bell S2R, it's a full face with a bill/visor, great on sunny days.

Chris,
Please go on the Bell Racing website and let me know which helmet you would like pricing on?
There are some great close-out prices on the M3 and Vortex.
Please feel free to contact me.

Do you want to PM the prices on the M3 and Vortex, large size? Or just post them here. Thanks.

+1 for Bell Helmets. I now have a Bell Vortex and it fits the shape of my head very well. You will find that each brand seems to fit a particular shape of head better.

Prior to this Bell, I had a Simpson Super Voyager. This helmet has an extra large face opening for better visibility. I thought this helmet was o.k. The fit and finish of the Bell was better than this Simpson, IMO.

I would recommend buying your helmet from a place like Saferacer that is very understanding with exchanges on helmets. I had ordered and returned 4 other helmets of various brands and sizes before settling on my size of Bell Vortex.

Also, +1 on Censport Graphics painting your helmet. You won't go wrong with Tyler. Here is a link to some pics of my helmet:

So Tyler from Censport finished up my lid. I am very pleased with the results.

I wanted something very simple with just our logo and my name. I requested some basic 70's style stripes, but with a more modern flair. Hence the all matte finish. After just a few revisions, Tyler got it.

Check it out. It's the helmet on the lower left of the page.

I have had numerous Bell helmets. My last 2 have been the Vortex and I have been quite happy with them. Make sure you get one that fits well. Different brands fit quite differently.
