Thread: name this lid...

What do you call this kind of helmet? other than suicide.

I heard it referred to as the "Extended Half" but had no luck tracking one down for a reasonable price... and no it doesn't have to be carbon.

We used to buy tons of the Daytona Helmets 1/2 shells at Windmill. I have at least 3... great helmets for little money.

By the way... the non DOT 1/2 shells are categorized as "Novelty Helmets" Basic Colors Novelty

Thats what I am looking for but with out the 2 1/2 inches of foam that makes it stick up off of your head.

I want it to sit like that guys.

sounds like "novelty" is what I will look for.

The link I sent you will take you to the Daytona Helmets Novelty section. You can also do a search for novelty helmets on Google.

Helmets Etc has some good deals on novelty helmets too Novelty Motorcycle Helmets & Novelty helmet - Helmets Etc.

or you could just custom-make one w/a lil CF wrap n some resin....


then it might fit over the enormous melon u got Greg

i have always heard of them called brain buckets..


and thats a nicer brain bucket than i have seen

That would be PiMp, especially for those unexpected cagers doing U-turns in front of you, won't leave as big a hole in their windshield with that cap (not big enough to categorize as a lid).

haha, thanks for the safety talk.

This is obviously not a daily lid.

Just wanted to point out the obvious.

Hell no, I was thinking night time only lid. This being that much smaller would be a lot easier to handle when your stumbling drunk staggering through the bar parking lot, whereas a full face keeps that alcohol smell inside the visor and can really get you in trouble

haha, now you feel me!!

I carry it on the back, two stacked together, when Im at the beach that way I can carry a passenger and wear the full face on the highway.

he11s yeah homie.... besides, without all that annoying useless foam, you can also use it as a pitcher when the bar maid runs out of clean mugs, flip it and fill it! Shoots, I got this Son!

I have two from daytona helmets that I use on the cruiser. paid $50.00 a piece for them down at bike week, right on main street.

thats perfect.

I can take a pic later if you want to see them.

John, are you selling these?

Oh I missed that part...

Do a search for novelty helmets. THats what it is..no padding and NOT DOT. I have a half German real carbon NOVELTY helmet Actualy one for me and one for the wife. I know I know...but we use them out cruising around or going to dinner type riding. Heavy...got them for thing $35 bucks.
I was freaked out the 1st time I used it, being open face and all. BUT I love it....my vision is open so much more. Will NOT get on the highway with it thu. Think its horrible with speeds over 55mph.
I dont dress for the crash....I dress for the ride.

haha, thanks Rod... that is the exact same reason I want them.

35 is a great price.

I know these are alot more expensive but look good aswell and are DOT approved.

That first link is on the money, but way to pricey.

The second link has what I need for a good price as long as its not full of padding on the inside, EZ Rider 230 Matte Black Novelty Helmet

But Im having second thoughts about buying from a random on line store.

Thats where Scala rider Q2 team set comes in FTW. You can talk, listen to music via bluetooth or cabled MP3, hear your turn-by Nav set, and answer calls. All that, without the lipstick

All honesty...I NEVER thought I would ride with a half bucket. But I now love it ( THU NOT SAFE )...I can see so much better, and hear more things..ect.
