Afternoon,

Quick question for you all...

Has anyone ever seen a decent sticker set for a bike helmet? I don't mean the usual sponsor ones here and there like this: http://www.abbeytints.com/sticker%20pack.gif

I was thinking something more along the lines of these:

From what I've read Shoei's graphics on their helmets are from stickers (and I've also seen pics of them putting them on in the factory so they definitely are stuck on (they must be pretty good not to get creases in them around all those curves!) and Arai paint them on (so I've read)

I have a plain Blue Shoei and as it's a decent lid in good condition I wondered if I had any options (without paying £150+ for a custom spray job)

I'm guessing you can't get the proper Shoei sticker sets unless you work for them as they don't want people buying the cheaper plain lids and putting the stickers on, (plus they probably clear coat them after anyway??)

Just wondered if anyone else has seen anything decent that would spice up a Shoei Royal Blue lid (already with Black Visor of course), like this:

I know I won't get the level of detailing like the factory detailed lids above, but anything over your standard stripes, checkered flags and sponsor logos would be interesting as most of the Factory designs seem to have a 1 or 2 colour base anyway.

I've seen a couple of Troy Lee Design? sheets but nothing much there that takes my fancy.

Any ideas?

Wow.. just looking at my local Vinyl Graphics place, looks like they can do some pretty funky stuff with printing on vinyls now, not just the plotter cut out single colour sheets we used to have.

Think I might give them a bell and see how much they can knock a set up for me for


EDIT: Just been quoted between £50 -> £90+vat for a similar design to the one with the stripes and stars (but that would be without the name logos and the fading on the edges of the stickers)
