Fuckin euros!!!

This is the Aria "Viper".... better known in the States as the Profile. The white isn't available over here, but the red one below is... What I would give to have this paint scheme on an Arai that actually fit my head.




They had this one at MotoMarket, but the Profile doesn't fit me right. The pic doesn't do it justice, it looked phenomenal in person, I can't imagine the hard on I'd get over the white one.

[tonup]

Dumb ? but I'll ask. Why can't you get someone from over the pond to order it then ship it to ya? Had to ship deisel parts over to that side before, gotta work in both directions.

[OreoGaborio]

yeah you could do that if you wanted to pay for shipping.

I don't

besides, like I said, it doesn't fit my head... if it did I'd do everyting in my power to get it special ordered. That white lid is fuckin piiiiiiiimp!

[tonup]

Gotcha, thought the one available in the states didn't fit but the euro did! Have a thigh strong hotty change the shape of your noggin

[OreoGaborio]

haha.

yeah, no. neither fit me. They're both the Profile which isn't the right shape. Only the Vector & the Quantum 2 fit me right.

[jeffsv]

Pete, this might cost a bit, but what about buying the Vector or Quantum 2 and getting it custom painted to match? Just throwing an idea out there....

Pete have you seen the new 2009 line on the Arai website now?
I think they must have just recently put them up there.
Some pretty nice new designs I think.

[taxonomy]

But you cant see the helmet while you're wearing it if your mirrors are adjusted properly.

[SVRACER01]

yeah, but all i have to do is turn around and see it hanging off the back.

been eyeing that website for weeks it seems... the only schemes I like that are available on helmets that actually fit me (Quantum 2 and the Vector) are the Haga black, Haga red and the Scream. That's it.

You know its funny that if you look at their web site and see
the basic shape of the helmets that you say fit they are very different
in shape. Have you tried to fit a Corsair?

I like the new Hayden. Even if the flag motif is a bit over used, its a nice
loud design! But I have a helmet so what am I thinking.

hah, don't sell me short, bro. I've tried every full face Arai there is (with stock pads). With the Corsair V there was a pressure point around the crown of my head and if I push the back of the helmet up it rotates forward. It probably wouldn't work even if I changed the pads around.

[LiquidPhire]

That helmet is sexy

[OreoGaborio]

Just ordered a Scream... I'm not a fan of the "face" on the side, but then I remembered that I have to put my race number on the helmet anyway (187) so I'm gonna either repaint the pods or have stickers made up in (if possible) a font that reflects the theme of the helmet..... should look somethin like this (I left the face on the rear view for comparison)

[1/2pint]

i am digging it big time

[GixerJockey]

Congratulations on your new helmet Pete...

[OreoGaborio]

Thanks

Don't it

[GixerJockey]

Thanks

Don't it

You're safe...

here's another AMAZING MS Paint rendition of what I would want it to end up looking like I'm gonna send this pic to a couple people to see what kinda $ I'd be lookin at spending if I chose to go this route.

[seth399]

I dunno, sticker kit things for leatt braces and crap are 30-40 bucks so I would assume 15-20 bucks maybe buster

[OreoGaborio]

if I could get custom designed & cut stickers for 15-20 bucks a side that I could slap on there & have it look like the lid came like that from Arai, I'd hit it
