Does anyone know where to get these from. I have found this site but it does state that they are for car use only

https://www.designerhelmets.com/index.php

I see N30 has one, is his a car or is it bike specific?

Cheers

The original Simpson Bandit is a car only lid due to the size of the visor aperture. It doesn't meet BS or ECE standards and therefore is not road legal.

There are road legal Simpson lids, but they seem to be quite rare in the UK. Craft on the other hand make some similar looking but more common helmets.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Just had a look at the Craft lids and not really a fan of the look. They do look very similar but just not got that edge that the Simpsons hold.

Cheers anyway for the heads up I'll just have to keep searching

Craft are hard to get hold of now as the importers really pissed everyone off, so a lot of places are not renewing stock (at least that is what i found last year)

I may be in the minority here, but I don't like them. They look far too big and clumsy.

I agree. They were cool in 2000, but now they are slightly passé now I guess.

The Stig has probably made them a bit cooler for the ped generation.

Think your both right. Think I only like them because of the stig. Think I'll just stick with my HJC for now.
