Hello!

I am looking for a supplier of 30's style white leather helmets. I display a PT22 in the UK and feel that the white helmet will be more authentic.

I would prefer it not to be modded to accept electrics - a simple 'non-radio helmet is all I want.

I dont want one of those hard shell jobs either.

I believe I'll need to look in the USA - I don't think that they are available off the shelf anywhere in the UK..??

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Flattie,

I contacted them a while back and got a negative. Maybe they then decided that they ought to do one and of course hadn't kept my details!

Thanks for the heads up - I'll contact them straight away for a lookandsee.

We have a hopeful in the States too as you can see so again thanks to all contributors.
