I haven't said anything before because... well I just didn't..
Anyway, if anyone is interested in some cool stuff for helmets let me know...
My friend / Co-worker has been working with HJC and Sportview (the company that is making the heads up display for helmets) and a few other company's
He is into tweaking helmets pretty good.
Currently I have installed in my helmet some bright, red lights that are powered by a thin battery located in the helmet. the lights last for a long time.
Others areas of interest are, he has patented installing a fan in the front of the helmet that toally defogs the visor and circulates airflow through the helmet.
And, last but not least, he showed me yesterday some prototype visors he got back that him and some other guy are sharing a patent on. Now this is cool, saw it myself. Re-active visors.
In the dark, the visors are clear, when light hits them they begin to darken. Full sun light that are fully reactive. He can get them done in mirror and smoke and he can get them done in different colors.
The one he got back from the lab yesterday did not go as dark as we both would like, he is waiting for some SHOEI visors to come back from this other company.
The visors we checked out yesterday are for HJC helmets.
HJC ships this guy helmets whenever he asks, I have seen the guy on the phone calling HJC and tell them " I need 3 of this model helmet, and 2 of this model for a mod I want to install" they tell him no problem and ship them out the same day, and yes, no cost to him, he does the mods and sends them back for the company to check out.
He just had four HJC helmets with his mods being shown by HJC at a bike show in Germany a few weeks ago.
So if anyone is interested in any of this stuff and want more information, let me know and I can put you in contact with this guy.
