Helmet Photos?
What sort of bucket does everyone here on the group wear?
I slap a Shark S800 bucket on my melon when I'm out and about. Matches my Nexo Jacket (Blue, black and white) and more importantly the bike itself! Luckily, my local dealer had (still does actually) all Sharks on sale for 60% off, so I lucked out!

I'm rocking the Scorpion EXO 700 in the Rivet pattern with a dark tinted shield.
 I don't have any actual pictures of mine, so here is the standard product picture.

The visors tend to rub against each other a little, and have caused wear marks on the plastic. I applied a plastic polish and removed some of the scuffs, and then applied future acrylic floor wax, which helped alot. It took ALOT of buffing to remove the excess, but I'm happy with the result. The other issue, is a very minor one. When the tinted visor is up and you have to tilt your head up, there's an annoying whistle. The related "problem" is added wind resistance when checking blind spots etc - not too bad at 50 mph/80kmh but at 65mph/100kmh you can feel the drag of the wind. Neither issue is anything that's a serious defect or flaw. Later! |

I have a Zamp helmet. For only a $180, I thought it was a hell of a deal. Real nice helmet, and have no complaints about it. I plan on getting a O'neal helmet this winter. They have bluetooths built into the helmet.
