I've seen a few younger riders with those mohawks on their helmets and was wondering if that's in some sort of violation of the HTA. As for me, it's bad enough that I ride a supersport with blown muffler packing. I don't need any more attention :twisted:

Re: Legality of Mohawks on helmets

That could go either way....I don't know. If it still is smooth with the surface, can not forsee a problem...Not like it is a mohawk thing where should you fall off and slide, the hawk part could get caught in a road drain and snap your neck....but by then you are already "up the creek"

Re: Legality of Mohawks on helmets

Thanks Bear. In that case, I'll probably risk the legal consequences in the interest of better night-time visibility. It will be placed at the lower part of the helmet, in a no-impact area. It's also a bit flatter. The way I figure, it will appear stock to an uneducated constable and as a smart safety feature to an educated constable, so the heat factor should be fairly low. Speaking of going overboard with my idea.... http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/ ... elmet.aspx

Patented LED light is incorporated into the rear vent, unobtrusive design is easy to use with different light settings

What kind of a man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.
