Be sure to put some reflective tape stripes on the back of that helmet. It will make it easier for cagers to see your head move and possibly anticipate action or movement on your part.

Thanks! The Shoei + DOT and model are reflective...but some additional reflective tape would help

Love this Helm BTW

Does anyone here have a Scorpion EXO-1000 in Apollo Blue (or similar), and if so how does the Scorpion blue match up to the Yamaha FZ6-R blue? Photos would be helpful too.

Thanks!
