wanted: german style half helmet

so yeah misplaced my helmet yesterday
and then my neighbor infromed me that last night some kids were walking around taking stuff out of peoples yards and she said they went into my car and she wasnt sure if they were taking anything but yeah my helmet was there last night now its not so yeah

ive been loking for half helmets( i wear glasses there kindqa bothersome in full faced helmets and i dont want the kinda dorky looking ones i saw at the harley shop kinda like the old german ones or the old like 70s style vespa ones here are some pics of what im talking about




ive looked around on ebay and at store and there kinda pricey so i thought before i bought one from them id ratehr ask my fellow xj brethren

 

the german helmets you should be able to find on ebay for about 25 bucks

 

Just make sure you get ones that are dot rated, alot of the ebay ones are just novelty helmets. I havent looked recently but a few months back that was the case.

 

Sounds like you should invest in a sidearm or a doberman instead......

 

hahaha thanks chacal
but yeah i thought id try here before ebay you know if any xj'ers had one
but yeah i guess il go to ebay

 

jp cycles have the helmets for sale

 

I just got a dot approved german style from an ebay store and just sent them back, seller was great but.... There sooo big, like darth vader helmet big. I def think you might want to find somewhere to try the halfs on.

 

It would be a GREAT idea to go to a shop, and try one on. Note the brand and size, then go shopping on line for the best price. If you don't check how they look before you buy, you might look like your head needs circumcision. They all have a tendency to ride just a bit high on the head. Different maker vary on they way they "ride" on your mellon.

They've got DOT approved German-style helmets in a variety of models. Most ebay sellers that have the same ones buy from them wholesale. I'm probably going to pick one up as well once I do the bobber build.

I can't get full-face helmets to fit, so I wear halfs as well. I also wear aviator-frame glasses. What I did was took and old pair, picked up some goggles from wally world for $15, then stuck them right in there. So to ride, I just remove my glasses, and I've got some custom made prescription goggles right at hand, for a good deal cheaper than commercial equivalents.

 

So your neighbour watched kids steal your stuff and didn't do anything. make a call or nothing? 8O

 

Ebay is your best bet, I JUST bought this one today:
