      Oooo, that Trike looks really nice as does the Harley. In my days of biking, all helmets came with a warning that applying paint or stickers could damage the helmet shell and reduce it's capability to protect on impact. Do you use special paint or have things moved on a bit since then?

      I like the helmet, that'd go very nicely with my ZXR750 H1
      I don't have any pics myself but a friend does airbrush work and did my Z650 tank and panels to my design.
      The work he's done on his own Z900 engined Harris is phenomenal, too busy for me but very very intricate, he's just finishing up a Suzuki Bandit he bought cheap and has modified into a turbo'ed drag bike with a GSXR 750 engine and turbo charger.

      My Z's near the bottom of this page, his bandit at the top and somewhere in there his Harris and Beetle engined trike

      Beautiful spray job Trey, very clean job, very cured paint there, you got some sort of damping light or heat drying source.

      thanks Graham.The paints do'nt effect the shell as I never sand thru the factory coating,and there not injected molded plastic anymore

      Mines an 89, (the H1 was the first gen, 89 then the H2 - 90 with only minor changes externally but a few internally), the H1 is the original and to my mind the best, 21 years old and still terrifying when you twist that throttle

      Have some pics somewhere, will dig one up and post it for you.
