Custom Pinstripe Bell R-T Motorcycle Helmet

Here are some images of a Bell R-T helmet. As you can see the pinstripe job still looks good. Custom paint jobs and metal flake helmets are my favorites. Liner condition doesn't mean much as I do not use any of the old helmets.

Vintage Shoei VT-1 Sport /Simpson Bandit/Bell Star Helmets

Here is a side by side look at three very different full coverage helmets. On the left is a Bell Star, common stuff. In the middle is a Shoei VT-1 Sports. There is only one word for this model....FUGLY! These had to be their low end off road/ATV FC helmet. No Snell rating, you don't see many of them and that's why I like it. On the right is in my opinion the most interesting helmet style ever, the Simpson Bandit. This one is an early example. It is missing the shield but is the best color....Darth Vader Black.

1981 Black Bell Star Motorcycle Helmet

This is a clean vintage Bell Star Helmet. The build date stamped on the strap is 11/81. 29 years old!

Vintage Everoak Grand Prix Motorcycle Helmet Ton up!

Here is one for all the ton up cafe racers. This is an Everoak Grand Prix helmet. They were British made and as you can see were ACU rated so they could be used in racing. These helmets have a different shape to them, kind of flat on top. Nicely made with leather trim. Make sure there is oil in the Triumph, put on the leather jacket and Everoak and DO THE TON!

More Motorcycle Art Work

From time to time I am going to post some of the motorcycle related art work that I have. This is a watercolor of a bar and grill south of San Francisco. Beer signs in the window, an old pick up and a Harley out front.....looks ok to me.

Personalized Nava Full Coverage Motorcycle Helmet

This is an ugly ,repainted Nava full coverage helmet. It is not a good example of a Nava helmet but, it has been personalized. It does not matter to me if it is pinstripes, custom paint or a cartoon, I like unique customization.It is worthy of a nail and space in my rafters.

1987 Marushin "Shorty" Half Helmet

This Marushin half helmet has a 1987 build date tag on it. While I like the color scheme,this is not a helmet I would wear. I have never used a shorty helmet,it's full coverage for me as I occasionally fall off of my motorcycles.
