How many

What are you guys doing for helmets? Are you painting, wearing basic black, or have you found a color scheme close to the 40th's burnt orange?

I cannot find it on the Shoei site but in the Dennis Kirk catalog they list a Z-II (or a TZ-1?) helmet that is "metallic amber" and looks like it must be to match the Zuk metallic burnt copper but unless I saw one in person I could not say for sure.

I use an Arai Quantum F with the raptor sheme that is black background with silver tribal markkings and a bird that goes from yellow to orange to red. Wild and kind of matches. My other helmet is a solid black Shoei X-Tec.
 
That's cool Mad_otter.  How long did they say it would take to get there?
Not sure at this point, as I have a unique situation, but I'm hoping it comes in by Christmas!

Not that it really matters; riding season's over...

I'm sure you'll take 'er for some short rides if the roads are clear when it gets there

 When I first got mine I spent a lot of time checking it out in the garage (when I was to tired to actually ride any longer).  And of course you will have to bring every person you know in to see it ......
 
I think I'm going to chrome whats not already black. Maybe some ghost flames. I'll keep you updated.
 
Thanks EAK, I have seen that Shoei next to the 40th and its very close. I have always liked that Raptor and have considered that as well.

I had a few questions about your Powder Coating.

Thanks,

black is the key to the 40th ann edition besides less cleaning more riding!!! black is best.
 
Ghost flames are on the way. Along with exhaust and PC3R. Too bad i don't have a digital camera I'd post some pics.

Picked my 40th up today!!! My first hypersport bike. Been on a harley way to long. I picked the 40th cause I like the blacked out frame and the solid color. The burnt orange is growing on me.
