New Lid Ordered... What A Deal!

I bought a Bell M5X Daytona in carbon last year for £125 on Amazon. There were loads for sale.

 

You might find by removing the paint you void the compliance of the helmet rendering it unsafe and non-compliant (illegal). If you crash this could create a world of problems and become a VERY expensive move! Just MHO tho!

 

I agree, plenty of people get custom paint on their helmets (sounds painful ), I think that as long as it is a composite helmet and not a cheap polycarbonate one there is no issue with paints, but I suppose these days of water based paint that wouldn't be an issue?

 

I know, although there is a brand new Red/White one for £199 which is stunning

or the carbon one for £249 although sizes are limited now as they are older stock.

I had a red Bell Daytona. I found the viewing area a tad narrow so it squeezed my brow and so had to look up at an awkward angle. It seemed more like a sit-back car/cart lid than one specifically designed for motorcycles. I suggest you try it on while on your bike to make sure the viewing angle works for you.

 

absolute steal at that price i had a nexx carbon and it was over £300,have looked but at bell carbon but well over £200 cheapest price.

 

The missus got me one of these, X Lite 802RR Carbon, for christmas a couple of years ago, lovely helmet, beautifully finished and light as a feather. For some reason I don't really wear it much though as I prefer my Shoei.

 

punt it on unless its a spare nice looking lid that widnt mind it ma self.
