I would suggest not road legal either for motorcycle or car, or track legal.

But who cares, it would still look coooooooollll!!!

If it met the appropriate safety standards and the laser/LEDs weren't powerful enough to cause issues, then I don't see why it would be illegal?

I've seen people put mohawks and things on their helmets before...

Its about the safety standards: heres a clip from the thing fraser linked above:

An approved motorcycle helmet is one that complies with one or more of the approved international standards:

UN/ECE Regulation No. 22: Protective helmets and their visors for drivers and passengers of motorcycles and mopeds (Europe)
Australian Standard AS 1698: Protective helmets for vehicle users
New Zealand Standard NZS 5430: Protective helmets for vehicle users
Snell Memorial Foundation: Helmet Standard for use in motorcycling
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 218: Motorcycle helmets
British Standard BS 6658: Specification for protective helmets for vehicle users (for type A helmets only)
Japan Industrial Standard T8133.

Helmets that comply with approved standards can be identified using these markings:
AS 1698

AS 1698 JIS T8133

JIS T8133 S Mark

S Mark
BS 6658

BS 6658 UN/ECE 22

UN/ECE 22
(The number next to
the 'E' denotes a
country, ie 4 equals
The Netherlands)
Snell Standards

Snell Standards

Helmets complying with FMVSS 218 will be marked with the letters 'DOT'. This standard is only acceptable for motorcycle helmets that have been manufactured and purchased in the United States.

That is quite cool actually. But the helmet being from Russia I would like to hear about someone who has had one arrive and checked before I would buy one...
