Looks good! I've noticed many of the current helmets all have sparkles added to the paint (my new Shoei included).

Who's Drudi Performance?

I noticed the sparkles when I got my McCoy Arai. It is also by Drudi Performance. I am not sure who they are. I will look it up.

Sweet lid, nice METAL FLAKES. Multi colors will go with a lot of bikes. Can you spare me that $.20 on the back edge of your stove?
