Oh definitely. Especially in the large cities, like Tokyo or Osaka. Truly entertaining though. The way JPN feel about image is completely different from the US perspective. I think it's a little cheesier lol But when everyone looks cheesy, no one looks cheesy. JPN society and attitude is really great. I don't think you'll find it anywhere else in the world. Everyone likes to dress like rock stars. But the goofy thing is, they are all like 80s rock stars :laughing:

Have Shorts look around for you. I found this link doing a google search:
http://translate.google.com/translate?h ... soft:en-us. Looks like it is/was made by Yamaha Motor Company. I couldn't find any full face links in the USA.

Another option would be looking for a helmet "skin" or cover that would go over your current helmet.

A final option would be having a local artist do a custom paint job on your helmet.

Good Luck! :mrgreen:

Oh yeah, I'll check Webike as well. I have seen them at the Suzuki store down in Hach.

They won't be DOT rated though. In fact, more than likely they'll only have a scooter rating (if it is a half helmet). Yes, JPN helmets are built to a speed rating.

The funny thing is, the JPN "S" rating is actually a higher standard than the US DOT rating.

Thanks! I would take one like the picture I posted if I could find it. That is a 3/4th helmet correct? I have a black one similar to that style, I like it a lot - especially for summer!

I really want one!! I wonder what it would cost to ship from Japan?

Shipping isn't bad at all. We can use USPS for mail since it's an APO. So, itd get to you priority mail.

Next time you are at a bike store there, can you see what one of these cost? I would really appreciate it :)!! Thank you!
