This is a Shoei ZG Aromatic Polyamide Fiber Helmet. It has a Snell 1975 rating and a build date of Nov. 1977. The shape of the helmet is unusual. I have never weighed any of the old helmets I have but this one feels like the lightest of all the full coverage types.
Having owned some Shoei helmets in that era it is my guess this model was top of the line. The graphics are good looking and are light reflective. The interior looks like it was comfortable.
This is an old (has a Snell 1980 rating) Kiwi full coverage helmet. I have no idea what steelglass is but it sounds strong! It has a nice space helmet shape to it and both exterior and interior finish are quality.
With a name like Kiwi you would think it was made in New Zealand.........not so. It is Swiss made, that explains the quality.
This is a standard Bell Moto 4 Motocross/Off road helmet. A common choice in the 80's.
The Scott goggles and the ROKO Quick Strap were common stuff . In my opinion the Moto 4 never looked as good as the Moto 3.
Here is an unopened Quick Strap package.
Although not motorcycle or vintage this HJC/Parker Pumper Off Road Racing Helmet is pretty interesting. It is a HJC model CS12 that is Snell approved. As you can see it has the neck piece that is attached with Velcro that fits down into the racing suit.
From the side you can see the fresh air port that would have a hose attached to it in the truck, it gets dusty at 120 mph out in the desert. The cable connector you see is for communications, the speaker and mic are inside the helmet.
This is a great hat. A custom fade paint job and competition stripes, hard to beat.
There are no markings on this helmet other than the Z.90 AMA Group 1 Racing sticker on the inside.
Cool old paint job from "back in the day"
Here is an early Bell Helmets Star 120. It was called a 120 because of the degree of peripheral vision it allowed. As you can see there is three button snaps for a visor and no pivot point for a shield.
These were the first full coverage helmets widely adopted by motocrossers. A duck bill visor, a pair of Carreras and a tape job on the helmet and you were ready to go.
Bright orange Arthur Fulmer AF 40 helmet.
When I get these old skid lids I never remove the stickers that are on them. Do you remember these Harley Davidson number one stickers?
