They will, I got to talk to them at the Indy show. For some reason they are having trouble getting the helmets through customs, but i just got the Stealth i ordered for me, and I love it. Quiet, light, looks good. My only issue is on my R6 at 140+ i find myself kissing the chin bar.

Side Note: someone mentioned the Snell M2005- Just a point, Snell has finally agreed with the article in Motorcyclist that their standards are wrong. They recently updated the standard. 2005 is no longer valid for new helmet designs. I have yet to see a helmet with the new specifications though.
I'm outta here B4 someone calls me a thread jacker.
peace.

Here's some to get you started:
http://www.motorcycle.com/news/news2099.html
http://www.ducatimonster.org/smf/index.php/topic,23035.0.html
The original article was posted. BIG controversy. You'd have to google it, I just can't right now. I know that it started in 2005 by a test the magazine did and SNELL took it personally and declared war. They finally conceded with their new standard (IIRC it's the 2008 or 2009 standard).

Yup. And these helmets are ECE certified, which was already proven superior to Snell05.
Jaybird I can get you in a Stealth for $299 plus shipping. That's $100 off.

These are rated the ECE rating (as required in MotoGP - higher rating than Snell).
Patman if you decide you want one of these gimme a buzz, I''ll cut you a break on one if you''ll write me back later and tell me what you think.
Does this deal only apply to Patman? If you can cut me this same deal, I''ll buy the Stealth off you TODAY. E-mail me.

Scorpion made a Photochromic visor for their helmets but discontinued them for some reason. I have a few left in stock but they are not making any more. I assume that they must not have sold that well.
The photochromic visors work pretty well actually and I was surprised that they discontinued them. As far as I know Akuma is the only manufacturer that has the T.O.D. Tint On Demand visors.
