Custom Painted Old Motorcycle 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"






Early Bell Star 120

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.
