Excellent work thank you very much for sharing! I have a side-question: What did you use for the inside of your helmet? Rondo? It looks very smooth! I have fiberglassed my inside and it's pretty rough, i'm thinking of a 2nd layer of rondo to get that fixed.

Awesome this is what I think I've seen used. It is a spray correct? Hopefully I can start the hardening process this weekend, but with the temperature that may not be possible. We'll see.......Thanks again for the help I really appreciate this.

This is brilliant, thank you so much. I've just finished peping my first helmet and I have a visor ready to install. Now I know what to do with it! Hooray!

Thanks for such a detailed and yet simple tutorial.

great tutorial!

thoroughly enjoyed seeing a visor tutorial that doesnt involve a lot of glue and has an easy way for removing the visor. I have one question how would you put the visor details on if you used a vac formed fisor or anything other than a motorcycle visor?

Thank you for this in depth thread. One of the best "how to" tutorials I've seen.

Looking forward in trying this out tonight.

Hey Blackula727 great tut. I was wondering if you have a tut on how you did the liner for your hem? Or know of one. The only thing I get when I search liners is visors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Shadow Of Intent]

Thanks for the inspiration! I used a flat headed screwdriver to carve in the lines for my visor with the help of a ruler, and bent it to shape after =D

I was just going to use hot glue to tack the visor in place before I bolted it into position, but the glue held fast, so I just lined the whole thing with it (And I'll fill any gaps with Isopon P38 later).

Jonny, I did a quick search for HJC helmet liners. Click here to see what was displayed. Hope this helps and happy building!

great work, have you or any one tried on the smooth cast helmets ?

 

[Rooney]

With my own helmet build and visor fitting looming, I had a tonne of questions... and then I found this thread, and now I have a tonne of answers! Thanks for your hard work Blackula!

 

[Rancid Musk]

Thank you by much for the epoxy tip. Never thought to do that. I will be trying this out soon and I will definitely be coming back to this.

Hey! Thanks so much for the tuts you guys! really helps! I also wanted to know what kind of drill you used for the holes in the visor, i have a drill but i din't think it's the right one to use, it's more for drilling holes in walls, Thanks!
