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.

+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.
