HJC Carbon Fiber Motorcycle Helmets
A popular maker of motorcycle helmets, HJC, offers a version of their street, off-road, and open face/cruiser helmets in stylish carbon fiber. When I was motorcycle helmet shopping, I ended up buying a Shoei helmet, but I was so close to plunking down the cash for the AC-12 street helmet.

01/28/2008 1:23 amI bought the ac-12 carbon and I love it. It didn’t cost $1000.00 like some other helmet companys offer. It’s just as strong as the others and still looks bad ass. I also liked the flat black helmets. So the gold vent looking pieces on the helmet came off and put the black replacement vents on. Over all it’s a really great helmet.
