G'day,

Are DOT approved helmets bought from USA legal or do you still need the aussie standard sticker on it?

Cheers.

dam, there's some good german styled helmets on US ebay.

cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll

If only they had an aussie standard version.

Our heads are so different to North American heads..... go figure.

That AuStandards thing is a virtual tariff/barrier to imported trade. Quasi protectionism.

Good point Pizzlin

If that sticker is sown onto the fabric on the inside then why the fark must it also be shown on the outside. I mean it is easier to transfer a sticker from one helmet to another rather than try a sow one into the internals??

After chasing around for months I finally tracked down an Rjays Sturgis in Mat black with no studs in size M. They are the ducks guts. About the smallest shell of any AS1698 lid. Try http://www.mcas.com.au. Send em an email and ask if they have em in stock. Maybe I got the last one hehehehe. That was last week so they might still have stock. I know the sturgis is in limited supply at the moment.

Cheers

Nah bucket......they are only to replace damaged ones on approved lids of course...........

Yeh I got both but the other way around. Might have somthin to do with the size yu get or the shape of yu nut.

Yu beat me to it. Too slow loading up to photobucket. My Rjays is narrower than the THH and about a bees dick lower. Now we are gettin frigin nit picky eh.
Nu I mean if yu got a fat head and a small lid it will look smaller. Vis versa. But who gives a toss as long as it does its job right.

On yu
Chromy

yeah it is picky, ya just got me when ya said it was the ducks guts smallest shell. ya need a fucken measing tape to even notice the very little differance between the sturgis and any other open face.

I was reading on another site about the standards for MC hemets.

From what was posted if the helmet conforms to snell standards it's allowed.

As soon as I find the thread again I'll post a link.

Hey Hoodaman, had my helmet resprayed and would like to replace the AS sticker, can I get one off you, if so let me know how much.

Ta.

Found it.

i bought a DOT german helmet of e bay but its a bit rude,its quite big and wide and instead of the straps coming down straight they come in from the sides so they arent flat on the face and look not to cool,i seen guys in other ones that look shit hot,i wonder were they got em from and if they DOT, they seem to fit smaller, mine looks good till you put it on!! lol

OP is 10 years old Drokk...

more to it than that as Australia have Medicare.

I was pulled over by two police two weeks ago. 

DOT is not legal here, ECE is now legal here though which opens us up to a lot of DOT/ECE approved helmets (I just got the new biltwell Gringo ECE).
