Antique Motorcycle Helmets

[kenpell]

Looking for an early 40's antique motorcycle helmet. Size 7 1/4 would be ideal but will take what I can get.

Also looking for an original board track racing helmet.

Any of these two around?

Thanks!

Hi Ken:
For a board track racing helmet, check on e-bay under vintage football helmets. There is an outfit in Texas that makes excellent repros, and that's what board-trackers wore. I bought one of these and its excellent.

And here I thought I was the only goofball buying a repro vintage football helmet Good to see that others are as demented as I am. Hey like I told my wife you never know when I might be asked to participate in a vintage hillclimb!

Vintage Boardtrack Helmuts

First understand that people were physically smaller in the teens and twenties. Finding a true survivor leather helmut is one thing...understanding it will not fit you is another.

Contact these folks:
Past Time Sports, Richardson TX, Toll free 1-888-296-5159. Great website with pictures of correct designs for specific years.

I bought a new leather helmut from them to use while riding my 12, 14 and 15 Harleys. They make exact reproductions of correct year designs, but make them to fit larger sizes we need today. They suggested a model that fits my German Square Catfish Head and it did.

They provided all the helmuts for Goerge Clooneys movie Leatherheads.
