Richmond, Virginia | Go to www.akuma.com click on the STEALTH helmet. I cant think of any helmet that goes better with the Vision than the Stealth. Its pricey but the look is awesome and the afterburner rear helmet LED's are awesome. While you are there, check out the up and coming Stealth jacket that goes with it. Crap, i can see a 1000.00 order coming down the road.
If any of you like this helmet let me know and like the CeeBailey deal, I will contact the manufacturer again and see if we can do a bulk purchase.

Reno County, KS | Thanks for the Kenny Loggins music in my head LOL. I actually thought that the Vision would make a kick a$$ platform for the jet bike, kinda like OCC did back in their early TV series. Air Brush some rivits, panels, nose cone art etc. Kinda how Akuma did the Ghost Rider helmet. Being that the Vision is the only bike on the market with a cowl intake and soul it would probably make a pretty good F-14 (SSG). "Highway To the Danger Zone"...

Linwood, MI | I prefer a half-lid, myself. But if I were in the market for a full-face and and they made one for really far heads, I'd definitely go for something like that. As my kid would say, it's pretty wicked cool.
One thing I really liked at the site was that you can buy the "Remove before flight" ribbons here. Might make a nice addition to some bikes.  |

The "Remove Before Flight" ribbons are always all over Ebay...a lot cheaper. Can usually get four or five ribbons for the same $7.99 price at Akuma. |

Brighton, Colorado | I can't tell for sure. Where can I get the D-Jet helmet? Does Acuma sell them directly. Right now, I'm wrapping a tape measure around my head to see how many CM's I am around. Pulled up a site that doesn't have them available to purchase. HELP!!!!!!! (I like the red one). |

Richmond, Virginia | I contacted them a couple months ago. I can order directly from them but there is also a dealer in Norfolk Va down the road from me as well. No price difference. I asked them about return shipping etc if the helmet size is incorrect, she said they never charge
re-stocking fees, but the buyer would have to pay the ship back fee. The dealer said they dont charge for either. The jacket is cool too if you go to the website and click on the tab that says something like upand coming or things to come, or something like that. |

San Antonio, TX | Redhawk16,
If you like helmets with the Visor and the Sun Shield try:
The Nolan 103, is convertible from full face to 3/4 helmet and has an internal sun shield that can activated on the fly. I have this helmet and it is great. The mechanism is very smooth to open or close. Price $300 to $380.
Here is a review http://webbikeworld.com/r2/motorcycle-helmet/nolan-n103/
The Scorpion EXO-1000 which is the full face version with the internal sun shield. This was recommended in another thread by VaParadox.
Scorpion EXO-100, This is a great half helmet with an internal sun shield that can activated on the fly but no real visor to speak of.
Here is a video review. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOEfZ7iUieg

| Randy, I bought the Bell M8 this past summer and really REALLY like it. It actually feels liter than my Daytona Beanie. One particular function feature for me was the face shield flipping up under the visor, very nice. I have a link where they can be purchased for less than $100. If you need it give a shout. |

Richmond, Virginia | I own the Scorpion EXO-1000 which is a full face with internal flip down sunshield. Love the helmet design, comfort and sunshield.
the inflatable cheek pads are awesome, you can pump up the internal baffles and shut out any road noise, cold air, etc out of the helmet.
I have sort of a sick helmet fetish and its actually one of the lessor priced helmets that i own. The nolan flip up full face with sun visor is a nice helmet but its H E a v y ..... AND NOT VERY AERODYNAMIC LOOKING |
