Default I David Farmer'd My Helmet

A recent thread here inspired me to spruce up my helmet a bit. I contacted David Farmer to get some of his fine vinyl work. I sent him some pictures of what I wanted and he sent them out the same day!! All the pieces look great!

Thanks David!

Sweet Mike! David did a great job making those decals.

Glad to see you invested in the Hans as well.

I love it! It honestly is hard to tell I am wearing one. I do some indoor karting too and after 15 min races with my old Helmet (it was an HJC normal weight) my neck would hurt more than in the car cause the kart tosses you around more. With this helmet I feel the same getting out as when I got in.

Yeah I asked him to just cut the letters straight and I placed them individually, thats why they look a little off. I have to try and straighten them without ripping them. Im sure David would have made it perfect.

Can you cut a windshield visor decal from a pattern David? I made one and it is real good out of oaktag? Can it be scanned or something?

be careful scanning...I tried doing that for him and fortunately I thought to test print it to match up with the one I actually traced; ya, didn't work. The scanner changed the sizing. tried 2 different scanners and gave up; ended up mailing my template to David
