Well I do have a reflective union jack on the back I was thinking of adding some retro-reflective striping around it like a halo band or something. Maybe the reflective black...

Didn't take your advice, I bought one. I've onwed a lot of different helmets, but this thing is really nice. The fit & fininsh are perfect, not to mention comfort.

It is an awesome lid but almost 500 mighty, mighty! I agree with bennybnm and plan to do the same myself with the decals(well maybe not the reflective ones)

Yes, it was expensive, but I've never owned a fullface because I've never been able to find one that didn't hurt my jaws. Arai has interchangable jaw pads. Besides I loved the helmet, comfort & looks, and I had some of my xmas bonus left after paying off some bills so indulged myself.

Well if you get a helmet that fits and therefore wear it then it's money well spent. Arai is pricey but they make helmets for every shape head.

I bought a daVida 3/4 helmet for ~$300 a few years ago and recently bought a HJC 3/4 for $82. It's fine, but the daVida is better in the quality dept. Or as my old Canadian friend moki Larry once said "what the heck, buy the cat a canary"

Thanks guys, I was actually wanting a Davida 3/4 helmet till I saw the Arai. Maybe next time.
