Further to your brain bucket choices, I came across an article in Motorcycle Mojo Magazine that featured 2 new, "retro" styled 3/4 helmets, one made by Bell, one of their Custom 500 series called the Speed Soul (the black and white one) and another by Ed Hardy motorsports called the Flame, (gold flake and blue one). Here is the link to the mag, (unfortunately, the article is not appearing but there are pics)
http://www.motorcyclemojo.com/2011/03/retro-cool/

Both are DOT approved and, to me, are boss! The bee's knees! Cool as hell! (You catch my drift) The Bell does not have a removable liner but does come with dome snaps on the brow for the addition of a visor or face shield if one felt so inclined. The Ed Hardy does have a removable liner but doesn't offer the dome snaps. It does, however, have a clip at the back of the helmet to hold your goggle strap in place, for that uber retro look.
After doing a little digging, I came across sites for both helmets and their respective design lines complete with full specs:

and:
http://www.edhardyshop.lu/en/boutique-en-ligne/casques?page=shop.browse&categ...  
Unfortunately, all I could find after a quick search was this European link for Ed Hardy, but I'm sure you could find one or for a supplier closer to home.

Roof helmets are super cool

plus the jaw part and visor flip back to make it a 3/4

google roof helmets. its a french company so its probably not DOT, but technically, if your state allows riding without one, it doesn't matter. costs around $500

your holes are too far apart.
recommended fix dimension is 19mm
your holes are 21mm apart.
the plunger will be about to fall out before you change over.


Or the chain will be touching itself before then.  Grin

im sorry i dont understand. the holes are 12mm apart. are we all speaking about different parts or did i completely miss the point?

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee419/rpnsht/photo2.jpg
12mm edge to edge + 9mm = 21mm center to center
or did you reset the caliper at 9mm?

recommended fix dimension is 19mm at which ovaling begins.
yours is 21mm
when given an option, people will change over prior to needing to.  To the point that the plunger is over compressed as shown here.

thank you for clarifying. that makes sense however isnt the result the same whether the chain touches its self (thanks moto) or plunger falls out ...either way its time to change the chain?

I had one of these (seen below) for my RYCA but ended up returning it because it didn't fit quite right on my head. Its the Nolan N20 player.
It kept riding up on my head and then the bottom of the visor is at eye vision. Was a very cool helmet though. Might be something you are interested in. Nolan makes very good helmets.




Ended up getting this Bell Vortex instead. Gave up the retro look and decided to get a modern, safe helmet. Its DOT and Snell certified.

I do like those helmets you posted above.

its all in the details:

we are currently working on something BIG over here @ Stasis is Death for our ryca cs-1 conversion. i cant name it yet and im running a risk even mentioning it. in preparation ive been researching motorcycle details and i came across Rajputan Customs out in india. http://rajputanacustoms.com/

the time and detail they spend on the grips, clutch & brake levers, badges and gas caps really shows. they are quite beautiful actually and completely inspiring:







they even attend to their helmets:



speaking of which...would be dope if there was a dot approved helmet daft punk style:


or tron legacy style:


these would fulfill my yearning for something futuristic. up with tomorrow down with retro!
if interested here are the instructions to make your own daft punk helmet:

fork lock:
my savage came from out of state with a few accessories including a lien but was missing a key for the fork lock. i was considering shaving the lock all together and welding up the hole but i chose to replace the lock instead after i read how easy the procedure is. actually it only took me 10 minutes to do the swap and i was a bit faded too. it literally took longer to upload these photos and write this entry than to do the swap. more on the subject here: http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?board=tech;action=display;num=1138368752 (thanks lou!). feels good getting rid of some dead weight and now having a functional fork lock.

new lockset-(2) keys, lockset, spring, lock cover, rivet and washer:


old keyless fork lock:


removed lock cover using screw driver; drilled out old lock using 1/4" drill bit:


drilled out lock:


insert new lockset with spring first, use key to lock lockset  into place:


once lockset  is in place, insert rivet through lock cover through washer into hole on frame; tap in using mallet:


key in new lock:


lock in locked position

I think one of my weekend projects will be removing that lock permanently, grinding down the tube, then plugging the hole with a  shortened bolt and epoxy.

jjjjjjjjjjets:

received a few parts from ryca today including jet sets. i've never re-jetted a carburetor before but the ryca carb jetting video explains the whole thing very well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFFuF9QZ4IM  i ended up using a 55 pilot jet and a 155 main jet. im sure my results will be similar to the ryca promo bike as im located not too far from them. now if only the powder coater im using could get his act together...
