Are these the 'drag' style helmets with the protruding snout/chin piece ?

If so MR, ask "The Yoshie" another KBer, he wears one.

It sounds silly but I feel like I literally can't ride good with out ear plugs now...

Yea, if they fail me in scrutineering, I have a cheap $100 helmet still in the box (unopened) for racing...

Jason at (09) 8131366 imports those and other streetfighter stuff (just happen to know 'cos I bought some bits and pieces off him recently). They're about (???) $600 from memory. He's also got an awesome GS1200ss streetfighter he was looking for a buyer for...was tempted but (a) poverty and (b) my shrinking violet nature deterred me....

Cheers for that, I know Jason. He's got some pretty wacky cool bikes in his shed.

If I get it, I'll be getting it from a mate who is an importer himself.

MR use your shitty $100 helmet for racing, saves replacing a $600 if anything happens,
