Ok, so I have a dumb question - does anyone know where to find a matching yellow helmet for the 2014 shade of yellow? All I can find are fluorescent yellows, and that's more of a clash than a match with this pretty golden yellow of the bike. Right now I'm wearing a black one, which is okay, but I would love to actually MATCH my bike! Any ideas out there?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

The Nolan N44 helmet color is pretty close. I purchased one to wear on the new RT.
I actually just found one of those. Mighty expensive for something I don't "Need". *sigh*. I found one for $100 by another brand on sale at the local cycle gear, just like that, only the dang thing was florescent instead of "cab yellow".
I do have a purdy blue/silver one. Hey, anyone got a blue bike and wanna trade my blue full face for a yellow one? LOL It's a gorgeous helmet, size small.

+1 for I buying helmets that fit best and have the features you want. Mine is white so it wouldn't matter what color my ride is.

:lecturef_smilie:......I have ignored this many times .................They ( manufacturers ) say that PAINTING their helmet contributes to it's deterioration.............I think they are either C.Y.A legally speaking and/or just want you buy another Hemet in a different color ....take your pick :yikes: :roflblack: :roflblack: :roflblack: .....Mikeguyver :thumbup:

The reason for recommending against painting has more to do with chemicals and sanding used to prep a surface prior to paint. Obviously sanding takes away from the surface material and some chemicals can make the outer shell brittle.
For a good painter that knows what they are doing its a non issue. However, helmet manufacturers realize their are far more hacks that "think" they know what they are doing....

I wanted a Hi-Vis helmet so that is what I got but if you want a match you would need to get one painted.

Hi,
Yeah, if you really want to match the Spyder paint job with your new helmet, you may.

They will have you covered.

Another vote for Nolan 104
My Lst helmet took a header while I was transporting the Spyder, so I just tried out and purchased a Nolan 104 in yellow. Pretty close match to my Spyder and the fit is excellent and very comfortable for a woman's size xs. They have some closeouts at a decent price from Revzilla. You can also see video reviews of competing helmets on this website.

I found that my silver helmet was a great match for my 2014 Yellow RT-S since it picked up on the silver in the bike. Not an answer to your question, but an alternative to consider. Mine is a Shoe and matched very well (not to mention being a great helmet, which you experience a lot more than the color).

Love our Nolan helmets
Have heard people say that dating has a lot to do with the foam and padding life span. Has to still be able to absorb impact. Heat and perspiration do a lot to degrade it. Figure in a couple of drops that most people do and I'd advise replacement every so often.
You only get one head, what's it worth to you ?
