I have been looking for quite some time for what I would call the ideal retro/jet helmet to match with my Bonnie black and Pearl paint scheme. I like the idea of a Davida all gloss black helmet and some goggles but I think the price is crazy. I have never seen a colour scheme that includes a pearl matching colour with black - just black and pure white which I think will look funny compared to the gas tank. Am I being anal?

That being said, I have come across the British made Urban N350 Moto supplied in the U.S. from SMF Cycle. I love the look and the price is manageable at $175. It has great reviews from Web Bike World. But once again the closest colour scheme to my bike with the Urban's is matte black and white lettering. They don't have an all black or gloss! Too anal again?Arrgghh!

I am not interested in a full face helemt. Anyone out there got a lead on the ideal jet styled helmet for a Bonnie black and Pearl?

What about this Caberg?:

Go buy a ALL BLACK helmet of your choosing, then head to your local pinstriper/airbrusher, and have him, or her, paint EXACTLY what YOU want in the colours YOU want.

That way you truly have a one off original.

I looked at the Osbe Rufus when I wanted an open-face. The main appeal was the styling with the removable face mask. It looks great but I was disappointed with how it fit. The face mask is so easily moveable that a stiff wind will drag it down. Otherwise I think the design is great. http://www.bici.co.uk/p/85531/osbe-rufus.html

I also looked at the Davida's, which I liked. But the helmet I want is yet to be manufactured I think. So I decided to stick with a full face for now.
