I have a week or so to get these parts done & then it'll be time for another job :D

You're supposed to replace a helmet after a crash/wreck as it may have caused damage to the cushioning energy absorbing aspects of the helmet.

Aside from that, nice job dude.

Eh, not exactly like the guy seems like he's Mr. Safety with a half skull helmet, :ninja:

You're doing a fine job bringing the Kawi back to her beautiful self though.

looks good. And they say that even if you drop a helmet it should be replaced. But who does that?
