    yes they can, I know of a number of poeple that have had motocross helmets, and car racing helmets wrapped instead of custom painting them

    I know Graphics HQ in Palmerston North does them,

    just don't use your precious name-brand helmet.
    you have already wasted thousands, would be a shame to have to use it for protection.
    Leave it in the box.
    Get some ARAI stickers and put them on your FFM.

    Sorta wish I'd thought of protection like that when I bought my first hat with a "racer" paint job. Guess I'll just have to remember never to put them on the seat, because short of a disgraceful dismount that's the cause of most crash helmet damage.

Later on in their careers they get to balance Harley engines with their boobs ........thus the often heard reference to HD cylinders as 'jugs'. True story.

    Do us all a favour, by bringing yourself up to speed, before pulling onto the motorway.

    yes ive seen videos of ppl using drums with the top cut out and the side cut out,
    you attach the vinly to the top of the drum , heat the vynal, and then PUSH the helmet into the drum , then re apply heat and walah you has a wrapped helmet

    If you use knifeless tape, you can use multiple sheets which will be easier to wrap and less likely to scratch/come off.

    The Aprilia is going to get wrapped later this year.
