Last week or so I picked up a new helmet, a Suomy Vandal that I found on ebay for a great price.

Helmet is very light and the fit is the best I've had, better then Shoei and Arai. Very noisy but I wear ear plugs so it's no biggie. So far it's been a great purchase. [thumbsup]
looks great..if only the spec 1R came with that visor system

Thanks! The visor system is probably the easiest I've used, no worries about breaking or bending parts when removing/installing the face shield.

+1 on the spec-1R visor- a bit of a pain in the ass- i'm always freaked out that the side panels are gonna fly off.
Nice lid- [thumbsup] I almost bought that one but went for the Suomy extreme Bostrom instead... Also a deal on Ebay.
Nice lid. I got the Vandal Troy Bayliss Replica new from Sandhills Motorsports.com for $274 . Do you mind me asking if you won an auction or bought it for a fixed price and how much did it cost you. Dolph

I saw the helmet on eBay, the auction ended with zero bids. I made an offer to the seller and got the helmet for $225.00 shipped.
The Iridium Gold shield was extra of course, I got that on eBay for $58 shipped.
