ACU Gold Sticker For Helmets

[0l0dom0l0]

I've got an X Lite X602 which is fully ACU approved etc, but it doesn't have the gold sticker on. I'm doing my first track session on Tuesday.

Do they check, or will they know that it's ACU approved? Not really sure how it works.

Any help is much appreciated

You can buy the stickers. Have a look on eBay.

I don't think there is enough time to get one off ebay now.

I'll check the box as there might be one in there.

Failing that I will take the one off my spare and re stick it.

Right I have ordered one.

I'm not hopeful it will get here on Monday though.

I can't peel them off either.

I'm going to check the box, and also go down to HG where I bought the helmet from to see if they have one spare.

Failing that, can I still take that helmet, or will I need to take a different one with the sticker on?

I don't know how fussy they are going to be. Can I take a print out from a web page saying it is ACU approved and that the helmet never had a sticker on it when I bought it?

Personally, I wouldn't risk ruining my session by only having a non-compliant lid. Take the lid but take a compliant one too.

As above; many, many years since I've had my helmet checked at a trackday, so you'll be fine.

I had the same thing from J&S (different lit mind) ... they simply got one posted to me ...

HG might keep some behind the counter, but I suspect it will be a post it to you job ... which is no real help to you ... give them a ring before dismissing the idea though

I have never had my lid checked at a public trackday ... ever ...

I'm going to pop over to them tomorrow and ask.

I have one on order from the internet, which was posted Saturday, so all going well it should get here tomorrow.

Will keep you all posted, thanks very much for all the help!
