I love the helmet hawks. Just a little flare that seems to get drivers attention. Not that I'd be doing whoolies or burnouts if I was wearing one. :)

Just for reference: wearing one of these while riding an Italian bike is an executable offense in almost all countries.

Wow .. I cant believe  there is that much hate for  some small Helmet flare. However I usually go against the grain.. I do appreciate  all the advice no matter what i do in life I'm always going to look good doing it. Maybe the Mohawk will clash with my Dreads maybe not....

soo why do you wear one  :flipoff: :flipoff: :flipoff:, and as far as last post asking for definition, ( squid reference) idk, maybe its you see people wearing these things, and many, or a high percentage of tehm, act squidly?, i could be wrong though. or it doesnt look the norm , ask that question 100 times, and youll [prolly get 100 different answers

Squid .... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ..... Squid>>>> Ha ha ha ha ha ha........... Cant do better than that...... I'm not a stick in the mud prude on any given day........  I rock  dreads, tatz, white -tees and  Blue jeans.  Some days I rock a full suit with a tie.  It's just who I am,  rocking  a  helmethawk  does not change my personality or the man I am ....  O0

By many's definition I am a squid for riding a superbike, get the mohawk if it makes you happy. I think they're kinda funny, just don't care to wear something that draws more attention to me.

Nice ..... Thats what I'm talking about it helps you become noticed out in the crazyness .. where i live  there are lots of  1st time drivers just starting College . You see them talking on phones not paying any attention to anything around them. I would rather be seen rocking the helmethawk then down .   Nice GS  what kind of Mods do have tucked into it .. I see A K&N Badge and after market pipe, Frame slider.....

Anything that increases your visibility can't be all bad.  So what if is a cop magnet? I'm pretty sure they aren't illegal.

Can anyone that has one of these mohawks tell me if you can feel additional drag on your head at highway speeds? Can you feel it pull harder on your head if you turn your head to look over your shoulder to check when making lane changes?
