So, as most of you know, I went down in a pretty rough accident last year. I lost pretty much all my gear, I have been focusing on parts, and I have almost all of them, so I got the chance to get a new helmet. I was able to barter with a guy on the FZ8 forum for a retrofit on the helmet that he was selling. He wore it once, and purchased a different helmet that he preferred the fit of better. Check it out:

Wow, it looks great.The red will match nice.

It must be Icon Monday.I was narrowed down to 3 choices when I ordered my s&s 1500 last year.After using it for a year, I hate the air fit system.It will cause a headache if it isn't just right.Plus the pump in the chin bar gave my beard a cowlick lol.

I almost bought the long oval Freaky Tiki instead because I like the polynesian culture.Its over $100 off now.I'm hoping that my glasses fog less to.They've been a nightmare this winter in the helmet Im wearing.

ICON Alliance Freaky Tiki Helmet from SportbikeTrackGear.com

I have nearly collected all the parts. I have not done anything to it, besides some of my re-retrofit.

I don't know either, noob here too... I have heard that they move a lot of air into the helmet which will be cool in the summer.

If I recall correctly when I rode with that style in the dunes (Quading) for some reason i looked up at a farily high speed and that thing caught like a perachute and almost lifted it off my head it was. I let off the throttle of course and it was a friends so it was a little loose.

either way dont get too crazy and you may want to try looking up and down at low speeds. I thought that flap was removeable too so if it is problematic for you just take if off. let me know though

Its fine at highway speeds. You just can't really look up.

The air flow is fan-f'ing-tastic. 4 top/front vents and 2 front vents.

It does catch some more wind then a regular helmet, but I never had a problem with it.

Very intense looking lid... Enjoy it...

@leem00, I'm pretty sure there was a big recall on Vega helmets. I hadn't heard anything about the Icon Variant.

Looks kind of like a dirt bike helmet with a visor. Like the color.
