Who manufactures the Buell helmets that Harley sells. I am selling one on E bay and was asked the question. |

The Pole position one is AGV. Don't know about the others. Mine says on the label on the inside. |

I guess I was wrong... I was told at the dealer mine was Shoei. But after looking at all the models offered on the Buell site they are AGV, HJC and KBC. http://www.buell.com/en_us/products/apparelaccessories/productsmenu.asp?Menu_ID= 1&ID=73 |

The blue/black Buell helmet I bought in '01 was definitely made by Shoei. It cost me about $300 if I remember right. I was riding the Blast back then. |

I have that iridescent Firebolt helmet. My HJC fits better, but I LOVE the buckle closure on the Buell one. No more fiddling with damned d-rings. Goldenboy9r - that's EXACTLY what a good helmet should do. Helmets are one-use only (ONLY!)items. The fact that it split means that it bled off energy that otherwise would have been transferred to your head or used in bouncing the helmet off whatever surface it struck, possibly snapping your neck. |

the older Black and silver "WFO" helmet is a HJC the Firebolt flip-up is a HJC also. I have both.

Gee...that's easy, but I will pass on the opportunity to do any age bashing. Remember Bubba Shobert's Bell Ad. His big claim was "It'll mess your hair!" Forgot the name of the model, but HD private labeled it. |
