Re: [ST] Helmets

Bill,

I figure in FL you should be able to find some one to custom paint a helmet.
Here in little, ole Iowa, there is a place that does custom detail
work/painting.  They do sign painting, car graphics, and helmets.  One of
the salesmen at a local dealership had his helmet done by them.  Even took
pictures of the bike to them to try and match the design colors with the
bike colors.  He did say they weren't cheap.  So definitely go with a solid
color lid (he said preferably white) and save the money for the paint job.
