balaormiga Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 WellJust picked up a new lid. A Bell Star Ace of Spades. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet but of my three helemts it is easily the better one. really light, tons of ventlation and attention to detail. Great deal on Ebay.. only $199 for a helmet that retails for up to $538 or so when first introduced and still lists for $300 or more at most shops. Got the tinted shield as well. Anyone else have any experience with this helmet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I have this helmet (ace of hearts) and got it painted.I love it. It's very light weight. Only problem is that you will want some ear plugs with it for sure. Gets kinda loud in there. Also, I hope you tried it on first. Seemed to run a size smaller than normal.I just didn't like the graphics on mine so I took it to Reimbrandt to get it painted.http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr116/RadioFlyerGlass/IMG_0160.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balaormiga Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Actually all my helmets are the same size ( large). This one seems a little roomier. Though When I changed the cheek pads it fit a little better. It definitely is not too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balaormiga Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I looked at your pic. Unique paint job. I didn't think you could paint over the decals. I was thinking of a solid black one but they were still over $300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of a solid black one but they were still over $300.I know he sanded it down, primed it and then painted and added clear.All and all after it was said and done I spent around the same price as what the Star retails for at full price so it was worth it IMO.
