mickanles Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 Bit of a long shot, looking for a classic 70s Motorcycle helmet to use with my recently acquired Triumph tiger Thanks for your time Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nublue 22 Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) Don't put a 70s helmet on your head, if it has any impact it might not save you, so it's between style or safety?? Your choice ride safe. Pop a picture of the bike on please, I love the old British bikes. Edited June 11, 2023 by Nublue 22 Missed a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D How could I forget - a friend of mine had a Benelli 650sei - that was awesome too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
