    Thumbs up Helmet ID help please

    Gidday,

    I'm after help please identifying a bike helmet.

    Way back in 1992 (yes...I'm older than some....) I brought my first new full face helmet.

    It was gloss black with a silver mirrored lens and was kinda shaped like a fighter pilots helmet.

    It had F15 stickers on it and generally had an aviation look about it. The visor shape was quite angulated and it was covered in aircraft warning style labels.

    It wasnt a custom one, I brought it from "huka honda" off the shelf.

    I used it for a few years before my familygave it away while I was based overseas for a while.

    Does anyone remember these helmets.....or have one sitting around?

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Cheers.

    $1500-$3500 depending on options. Cool as hell though. Oh, and not a motorcycle helmet.
