Bike shops are good also checkout some motorsport stores. I bought mine from GMP racing in oakleigh. Cost $160 for a full faced helmet in plain black. Open faced helmets start at around $90. So I would say those are the minimum prices you would pay for an australian standards helmet.

Make sure when you are trying on the helmets, wear them for a few minutes just so you can get used to the weight of the helmet. Some of the cheaper ones can be quite heavy.

If your anywhere near Ringwood go see my brother. He works the store / retail at A1 in Ringwood.

Ask for Thomo and tell him your SAU and coming up to DECA, he'll look after you as much as he can with the price too.

just checked the site, man, motorbike helmets look so much cooler :ninja:

i live in sandy,meaning brighton is really close to me, i guess mentioning SAU at brighton isn't going to get the same effect? anyone at brighton i could speak to?

Nah what I said will only apply to Ringwood store. Just go to any bike shop and they will be able to fit you up. Just thought if you were close to Ringworm I could get you a better price.

Ebay might be the way to go, but probably too late to be ordering off ebay, as you don't want it to arrive on monday next week, and miss out.

Hey Scotsman,

can I say I'm from SAU and get special prices? :D

I've been to that store before and they have some awesome gear!

$800 for a helmut is a bit expensive if your only doing a few DECA's a year :blink:

It would be different if you were doing track days with 15+mins each sitting... thats where a good decent helmut comes into play with weights and construction without a doubt. If i was tracking... i would be getting a nice light one :blink:

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
