Which is it - red or maroon?

I don't think your head or the bike care what color the helmet is as long as you use it!

Maybe if the yellow helmet is old it's time to replace it anyway...

:agree: Contrasting colors make you more visible to other motorists...

I don't know. Some fashion-conscious motorists may feel enraged seeing maroon mixed with yellow. Fashionable road rage - there's a concept.

Can't really answer this question without knowing the color of your other riding gear.

You could always get Sue Hopper to paint the helmet or the bike or both to bring the colors together into some kind of motif.

That's a good point. Some yellows might go well with some maroons.

It all depends!

I have four yellow helmets. I bought them for visibility.

Have used them on all my bikes which are currently black/green, yellow, and silver.

Currently, the favorites are white colored ones.

Early on, I used the color coordination as an excuse to buy additional gear. Now that I have two six foot racks of m/c riding gear--Color coordination is no longer an issue for me. :thumbup:

I can dress coordinated, leather, or what the heck. :yes:

If it is only if they go together without making a wardrobe fau pax....Maroon and yellow accent each other nicely. Had several planes (U-control) painted with those colors :clap::clap:

The yellow is a Can Am and very good price. Otherwise I was thinking white, and I wanted it bright so people might see me a little better...

not that it matters if it's red or maroon,
but the color is "Intense Red Pearl" according to Can Am
and only the fashion poiice care what color your gear is, to real people, it doesn't matter

I wear the Hi-Viz yellow helmet with a hi-viz yellow jacket and my Spyder is the blue metallic with red trim. Do the colors go together? I think they look fine but if others don't, why would I care? I'd rather be seen in hi-viz yellow on the road than in a dark suit in a casket. Anyway I don't see myself on the bike except in the mirrors and then all I see is this really safe-looking handsome guy. LOL
