bonnox Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hi, I know it's not everyone's first choice in helmet, but I picked up a rubies biker scout helmet and am just looking for a few pointers as to my progress modifying it, it only cost me £35 so was a real bargain, but typically was nearly flat, I have reshape do the main helmet part and reinforced it with aluminum bar, would you mind looking at the pictures to see if you think it's back to the 'right' shape, something looks a little off and I just can't put my finger on what it is, I think it's flaring still around the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonnox Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 By the way I have no idea why the pictures are upside down, but they go the right way when you open them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexous Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I would recommend trying to get ahold of BSN member CRISTONAMO, I believe he likes to buy Rubies/Don Post helmets and make them troopable for fun... might have some good advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stasz Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I was poking around a while back and someone has shared this link to a .pdf tutorial on modding the Rubie's lid: http://website.lineone.net/~hollis_wood/trooper/avatar/TB-RubiesMod.pdf Might find something useful there. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathgruben Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 My bucket is a modified Rubies, and I used that PDF as a guide to modify it. My build thread with details is here: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=11767&st=0 I would agree, the helmet is still too flared out and needs to be made more narrow.
