Nice! What bike have you got...?

Joking aside, that does look good and it has a beak too.  :thumb:

If you don't mind me asking, how much did that cost you. I'd understand if you'd rather not say.
I'd love a Barry Sheene paint job on my Arai. I got in touch with Arai in Holland to ask if they'd ever do another Barry Sheene helmet, they said they had no plans to do another BS helmet, then in the last part of the email, said" But never say never"
