Default Kind of a bike question?

So, I just bought this helmet..

http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...101&division=1


Does anyone have any experience with this model or brand? I will be using it for drag racing in a car, not riding...my old Bell finally failed tech inspection...[:@] I was looking for something that was DOT and SNELL 2000 that wouldnt break the bank.

In all honesty Patrick - I think they are great helmets. In fact I had an HJC on order (I'm pretty sure it was the same model) but they couldn't get it in by the time I needed it.

I found the fit to be really good too. Plus the price was great! The one that I had on order had removable/replaceable cheek pads too.

I think you made a good purchase! How has the drag racing been so far this year?

ive had a crappy season. the car isnt running all that well, and since ive moved, i dont race as often as i used to, so ive not been doing well either.

however, at the last event, this past weekend, we got video of me racing amanda...

well, we just bought another car, which will be a long project, but it should come out to be a good running street car as well.

NICE!!!

The HJC is a good helmet. Good brand, good helmet. Should work perfect for ya... I have not owned the CS12, but I have owned HJC helmets previously. No problems at all. They are popular enough, you can find replacement parts quick and easy..

i was looking around at some sites for different visors...i found CL12 visors, and CS10 visors, but none for that model...it says that the visor comes off easily, and that would be nice as its a pain wedging sunglasses inside my helmet when im racing, so if i could get a tinted visor for the daytime racing, that would be nice..
