I wouldn't suggest Richard on this occassion, get one of the deepak Indian helmets (ebay) and change the straps for some of Barry Lyndons (ebay). This seems to be a good combination.

Do we have an opinion on these? I know nothing about this stuff but I found them so I thought you might like a look.

I definately remember a whole long thing about falschy helmets that decide the ATF shells are wrong and your better off going for the cheaper ones (cant remember which specifically)

Whats wrong with Barrys shells by the way ?

As Darren has mentioned, go for one of the Indian shells, but replace the liner & straps with Barry Lyndons.

The Indian shell is one of the best - good shape, but the liners don't sit in them very well (the aluminum band is too large). Barry's shells aren't that good, & the bolt holes aren't always in the right place, but his liners & straps are good.

Ok, the indian helmets are made by Deepeeka, who are master crafts men. Here is a link to their FJ shells

Stig, I could be wrong but I believe these are the same shells, as the guys sells a lot of other stuff made in India/

Barry Lyndon straps and liners are easily found on ebay or his store.

If you look at the side and front view you can see the profile is wrong. The lip at the front is barely distinguishable.
