Custom Helmet
« on: June 24, 2013, 08:19:40 AM »
I was thinking of getting a custom helmet done with a design kinda like this:

The chrome part would come to a point at the back of the helmet like the graphic on the fenders. Sort of like a chrome mohawk.  :)
Do you guys know of/recommend any shop that does custom helmets and can match the finish/detail on the CVO BO (crushed slate graphics being the main concern)?

Thanks,

Cam

Looks good, but I don't go in personally for half hemets-I prefer the modular ones.  But the colors look good-what was your plan for actually making it?

Dobeman,

I was going to buy a chrome helmet and just have the paint scheme done. What do you think?

Blinding when the sun hits it. Have a friend with a chrome helmet...won't ride behind him.  :)

:) I have a couple of chrome helmets and haven't had any complaints yet. But I see your point. Anyhoo, the back of this one would look like this:

A little less chrome with the CVO BO graphics on it.

:) Forget the german helmet form. That's the image i could find in chrome to do the photoshop. Think regular half helmet. Still a no-go?

Do whatever flips your switch! I went the full face route (http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=36404.msg576490#msg576490) but have 1/2 helmets that somewhat match as well (including a chrome one). Some guys will tell you you're going all Gold Wing but it's your dough and your head. Make yourself happy!

Thanks. I will contact the folks that you had used for your helmet. They did an awesome job with yours. I may switch to the full face helmet if I can find a chrome FF as I think that would be easier to apply the graphics to vs a black helmet that would need to be chromed.
