tk1234 Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 My KS kit arrived a month ago. As I was cleaning up the parts I really gave the plastic a thorough inspection. I was extremely disappointed. Dry fitting everything only deepened by disappointment. No matter how the helmet came together, I knew I wasn't going to be happy with it. I immediately ordered a fan-made kit from a guy in Singapore. The plastic is H.I.P.S. I have no problem with that. I've had H.I.P.S. before and it's a nice medium to work with. However, the parts are molded in exactly the same way that the CB helmet kit parts are molded. Halves for the helmet back and visor. I expect the kit to look as good as the CB.

He sells under a few different accounts via eBay. Those kits are super thin.
Torm Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 I think every helm has its flaws . I'm not sure EFX might have nailed it tho time will tell . Over all most biker helmets look better on some than others . 1
Shadow78 Posted August 31, 2016 Author Posted August 31, 2016 The CB is the New Kit. It's HIPS. He is from a run on Facebook.
stasz Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Thanks for the comparison shots! These are always helpful for Troopers investigating different sizes, and this shot runs the gamut - small, medium, large... We should try to get the "definitive" helmet comparison shots at Celebration next year. I bet there will be one each of every reputable maker floating around that we can get together. 1
