steve#78 is an unknown quantity at this point
I have bought some helmets off ebay many times, as long as they have the AS standard they are fine.

Most differences between helmets are the foam and comfort factor, but for minimoto I think you can get away with cheaper helmets.

mate if you do buy helmets of flea bay look for australian standards and/or DOT. the ones sold for 30 bucks are ****! basicly the $30 ones are a bit of foam in a thin plastic shell. and also if your going to race you need a AS/dot FULL FACE for safty resons. i got a black HJC ZF-7 with tinted visor that was a few months old and looked beter then some of the ones in the shop for 60 bucks

You want to get a single mould to as the the 2 moulds split in bad accidents.
