I'm extremely curious to here how it turns out. Especially want to know how the visibility is through the shield with something like that on it.

Re: Skull Skins
The face shield sticker is perforated plastic, and should be applied over a clear shield. On another website they have the same thing (extreme decals), and recommend not to wear it at night, or especially in the rain or visibility will suffer - duh..

I'll take lots of pics when I get it.

Re: Skull Skins
When you post your report, please tell me how much you hate them. I don't need to be spending any more money and you can bet your butt I would probably want one.

Re: Skull Skins
I can faintly make out a visor in that pic, but all the trees and such are hiding the actual helmet.

Re: Skull Skins
They're all dirt bike helmets. Helmet Skinz was the first company to do this sort of thing.
I've owned two designs for several years, and they hold up well. I'm sure this new one from Skull Skins will be just as good.

Re: Skull Skins
are they fabric? plastic stickers? or what? Wonder how they will do once you get on the highway in a 60mph wind.

Though my artistic skills are a bit lacking.

Actually I like my helmet as it is now. I've got this one..

Re: Skull Skins
Silk screen print on spandex fabric. All openings are reinforced and border stitched. Shield stickers are some sort of perforated plastic.

My dirt bike Helmet Skinz stays on just fine @ 70.

Why would you cover the dragon up?

If it's something easily added and removed, I might get it just for fun. But I really like the dragon.

Re: Skull Skins
I have an uncle that is an artist and also used to ride. I sent him one of my helmets in December and told him to use his creative talents and more or less surprise me. I sent him some pics of helmets that I liked and some of helmets that I don't like so he had the very general idea of my tastes. Hoping to see it show up soon.

at a local cycle parts shop here in Indy they used to have a guy that would custom paint helmets for people. He made some awesome looking designs and would do basically anything you wanted. I'm sure he moved on to bigger and better things which is too bad. His stuff was unique and amazing.

Re: Skull Skins
TRS Custom visors makes the visors only. I have seen ads on websites for them before. My g/f just bought me the 07 KBC Airbornce Force RR Top Gun. I was looking into having them make me a variance of the airborne sticker they make to match mine. It says you cannot ride in the ride with those stickers because it fills up the holes and will blind you.

If I had to ride in the rain, I wouldn't be wearing my custom stuff if I could avoid it, of course, it doesn't rain that often in Southern California..
The custom painted helmets can be seen at Extreme Decals; its not cheap:

I tried out a skullskin. Looks good, seems to be fuctional issues with opening and closing your visor though. Not sure if I really like it.
