Really cool looking Japanese helmets on Deus Bali blog...

...especially the first one ("The Blaster").... Does anyone know of a helmet here in the States in this style?

Looks to be just a remake of a vintage Bell MX helmet. Not the Black one, thats a 3/4 with some form of button on face shield, but the yellow and white ones. The other full face ore all replica (or possibly NOS) 70s helmets. All available on EBAY if you dont mind wearing a 30+ year old helmet.

The MX helmets are a bit harder to come by in decent condition, and usually pretty pricey.

I got a bell moto III in pretty damn good condition... only issue is a stripped button as seen in the second photo

My main issue is I don't trust 30yr old lids to protect my brain, but they sure do look sweet!

Bell Motos are in demand so repops were inevitable. Here's my Moto III.

That Bell is a really cool looking helmet, will have to be on the lookout for a repop here in the US....

here's mine just picked it up. its a 1975 all in all, pretty good condition. I am going to do a full restoration on this thing. so stocked as they aren't easy/cheap to come by anymore.
