I just read about replacing your helmet after five years and now I see these pics. It looks great, I may have to borrow some of your ideas for my new lid.

That looks great Buy...I'll bet your insurance company goes nuts with the options list you have for your ride... :P  I'd be sick if I dropped that helmet though...for some reason I can't keep my helmets pristine...they always get dinged and scratched...:(

I've got helmet-dropsy sometimes too Charlie.  Got over the worry by convincing myself that helmet rash adds character.

On the way out to the Hills for the rally we stopped in Sioux Falls for dinner with some friends. I set the helmet on the ground next to the front wheel so it wouldn't fall off something and get dinged up. Went to put a kickstand rest under the kickstand as it was hot asphalt and lifted the bike back to center position driving the highway peg into the helmet finish. First scratch. A little painful but it was gonna happen sometime anyway. This stuff is just stuff. Try to keep it nice but that isn't going to stop me from using it.

Very nice. Thinking of having a helmet painted to match a black/green flamed CVO Springer.

What should I expect to pay for the paint and any recomendations on who to have do the paint?

Kinda depends what all you are doing. I found a stock Icon helmet that was the correct color (although it had a matte finish) so did not need to paint the helmet red. If you do a lot of complex graphics, price can go high in a hurry. I ended up with $160 for the stock helmet and $450 for the flames, SE graphic, CVO graphic, HD bar/shield flames graphic and clearcoat of the whole helmet. It was about what I figured it would be.

Helmet was done by Leni at KrazyKolors:

Leni has done gold leaf flames on my WG2 chin spoiler, windshield, and battery box and he is currently color and graphics matching the saddlebags for my wife's SE Deuce. I have a great deal of confidence in him.
