Hey so kind of random, but does anyone know where I can find the overlay "camo-like" decal seen on this bike? (Its overlayed on the black decal on the gas tank) I thought it was very unique but it may be custom.
My guess is that someone made a custom tank grip (similar to stomp or techspec) out of camo skateboard deck tape.

I don't think I've heard of them before. At that price, you might want to look at a Scorpion Exo-400. Motorcycle-superstore has some on close out, so you might not be able to get the color you want in the right size, but definitely worth a look.

Thanks Kowen that EX-400 looks nice! I can go try the SparX S-07 on locally and I love the simple black matte look and is only $97!! That is why Im leaning towards it.

SO no one has any experience with the SparX S-07?

if $97 is how much you want to spend on something to protect your head, then go for it. let alone a company that isn't as big as the major players.

i'm sure there are some motorcycle gear stores around you. go there and try on different sizes from different manufacturers. you'll get a good idea for sizing. that goes for helmets and jackets and everything you may need for riding.

once you figure out your sizing, look around online for good deals. many retailers will give advice about fitment and sizing. i grabbed a Bell Vortex helmet for $190 and it is DOT and Snell 2010 approved. I've even found a Bell Star for $200.

spend the money and you won't regret it. you don't want to have to go buy another helmet 4 months later

If you want a good budget helmet, grab the Scorpion EXO-700. Me and 3 other friend have them and love them. DOT and Snell approved for about $200. Go to the Helmet Center store to check for size, and talk to the guys there, they're pretty good.

yea, can't beat the exo-700. $109 on sportbiketrackgear.com for select styles. they're really well made but can be kinda loud
