Is there a Neutron Silver colored helmet available?
« on: September 19, 2011, 06:33:48 PM »
I have to buy a new helmet, and would kind of like one to match the color of my bike.
I have a '08, that is Neutron Silver.
Is there a helmet that is offered that matches the color of my bike.
If not, how realistic is it to have it painted to match?

Haven't seen an exact match ,but the Shoei RF 1100 has a color that looks pretty close to me .Been thinking about it , cause my RF 1000 is getting kind of ratty . Big bucks ,though. Color is called pearl gray-see what you think.

I realized my error before you replied and had already deleted my posting...
I saw the world "silver" and forgot that "Neutron Silver" is actually blue, not silver.

Removed my curt response.

You forgot to add that neutron silver is the fastest.  Proven fast, Chuck Norris said so.  ;)

I have an HJC Symax 2 in silver and it's VERY close to being Neutron Silver. The helmet's shade is only slightly lighter than the bike. Not a perfect match but close.

Blair,
You should just get a black helmet and a faster color bike to match it...  ;)

Black is definitely slower, black gets hotter and causes heat soak much quicker than the stealthy (cloudy day) neutron.  Plus who wants to keep black clean, like you do. You can't have over 3,000 miles this year because you are either washing/waxing or farkling your bike.  ;D

If you can't find one to match go with a white helmet, it really helps with others seeing you,

This is the closest I have ever seen. HJC calls it anthracite.

I have that exact helmet  -- not even close in color,  much darker silver

That's the same helmet that my wife has and Zed is right.

It was late in the evening when I saw the guy wearing it, and it looked close then.  Sorry for the bad info.

Well, in his defense, he didn't say it was a good match, he just said it was the closest he had ever seen.

Neutron Silver (really "silvery baby blue") will probably not be a very easy color to match in motorcycle accessories :)

I have an HJC C14 silver that is close and a Shoei TZR. They are both similar to each other but not exactly to the bike. They are both lighter than the bike. Besides, who will notice when you are going so fast by them? Its not like you have a black one puttering around where people will be able to see if the shades match!

That makes neutron  sound so feminine (no offense to the fairer sex) I like to think of it as steely grey [or traffic never sees me silver]..... makes me feel a little more manly.   :D

LOL- Sorry, that wasn't my intention.  Just saying it is an atypical color, so probably harder to find things that match.  Personally, I like the color.  Not as much as silver, but it might be my second choice.

Uh, Jeremy, think it all the way through----I know the 20th was a day of independance for some, but?  I'll ride the "silvery baby blue" feminine variety over a manly "steely grey" any day ;)  What i do know as fact is Neutron Silver is the fastest color, zero to &!tch in .2 seconds 8)
