Can I get a helmet in this colour?

Post by PCXUsername »

So I've just picked up a 2nd hand 125 PCX in my favourite colour choice.

I'm looking to see if it's possible to to get a helmet that matches the colour of the bike? I couldn't see anything in Honda shops here in Thailand, so I'm willing to go online.

Any places that make helmets for you in a specific colour?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. It's more of a brown than gold (which it looks like in this picture)

Wow, whoever owned it before you added lots of chrome. It looks shiny.

I'm in the USA, so everything we have available is different from what you guys have.

You can search for helmets by color on this website: http://www.helmetcity.com/page/HC/CTGY/helmetcolor

This one would look BADASS with your scooter: http://www.helmetcity.com/page/HC/PROD/ ... black-gold

Anyways, good luck with your search, and welcome to the forums! :)

Davida make excellent open face lids, there is a huge range of standard colours some of which are quite funky.
They also offer a bespoke painting service so you can create your own entirely unique helmet.
Here's their "Heritage Gold" option:

Why not just get a helmet painted to match?

Davida - and there hand made in the UK. Against all my principles but I'd have to go for the easyrider version. How cool is the General Lee one too

Have to be careful what helmet you paint and what paint you use though.
Those Davida lids are pretty, well made and expensive, but nowhere near as bad value as the utterly ridiculously priced Ruby helmets which are made in China.

Sorry, the bike posted isn't my actual bike, just a colour example that I found on Google Images.

I'm thinking of adding the chrome to mine, as I really like the look. Appreciate the replies!

If there are any kind of custom shops near you, or within calling distance, they can probably either paint to match, or can tell you someone in the area that can. Custom shops are cool like that. :)

Do any of you object to this getting moved to the "gear" forum? This thread is technically miscategorized. ;)
