Mr Meeseeks Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I am based in the Pattaya / Chonburi area, looking for suggestions where I can find a new helmet, specifically more retro style helmets from brands like Arai, Shoei etc. I have a RE Interceptor 650 so I want something that suits the ride. Models I am interested in are; Shoei Glamster, Bell Bullitt, Arai Concept X, Bell Custom 500 etc. Also, if you have any experience with helmets i.e. comfort, fit, issues etc. let me know. Thanks!

Well give a H2C a try on and see there Honda approved and reasonable light. There full face. For me it was a great snug fit all around without any discomfort. Built in Sun visor is very useful. There around 3500 baht from memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetphet Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) A friend and his wife both bought some Bell helmets that looked quite retro from somewhere in Chatuchak Market. The model was Scout Air, Recon, or Pit Boss. Not sure which, but those are the one's on the website that most look like the ones they bought.

HTH Supporting the environment and buying things recycled from waste plastic !!! Not so sure buying a helmet from a market is a good idea & suspect they are counterfeit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure buying a helmet from a market is a good idea & suspect they are counterfeit. I think there are quite a few motorcycle clothing and accessory shops in and around Chatuchak Market area. That does not mean their goods will be counterfeit. I'm pretty sure the shops selling any counterfeit goods will be easy to spot. Just take reasonable care.

How about a helmet that suits the rider? Or do you have a different helmet for each of your bikes? I had one of these (or close) for my Wave 100 in Indonesia. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Meeseeks Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Ended up getting a Bell Custom 500 from Born Biker in Pattaya. They are a dealer for Bell, Biltwell and HJC. https://www.facebook.com/BORN-BIKER-101804251254105/ Retro look, open face and comfy af. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh I like Paddock but not going to BKK at the moment due to COVID restrictions. I bought my Gaerne boots there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
