AWDrifter, want to make me one? I can’t seem to find one on ebay… they have helmets, but the chrome one is beat and the spike on the black one is too big. 2.5" would be good. ---

If I made ten and you sold nine on e-bay you be better off. Is aluminum ok? ---

Are we talking round or square.(Square would cost about 10 times as much as round) Round is a fairly simple lathe op. Square would be 3 axis milling and be 2 ops. This is cheap… [http://www.thehelmetsource.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store\_Code=THS&Product\_Code=FB001](http://www.thehelmetsource.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=THS&Product_Code=FB001) ---

You might as well buy a whole helmet. Only around $40.00. DOT as well. Edit: After further research, the minute you add the spike, the DOT isn’t available. ---

round FTW. i’ll think about buying one with the spike. my current helmet isn’t DOT. Do they check that shit? I mean, i don’t even have my permit. ---

I would think taping one on with two sided tape would be safer than bolting it on. If you drill a hole in your helmet I think the DOT/warranty would be void.:lol: ---

a real spike is just retarded… see if you can fab one that would destroy on impact. ---

yes seriously firmly attached metal spikes on a helmet arent a good idea. depending on the direction of an impact it can either 1, poke through the helmet into the head cheese, or 2 dig into the ground and bend your neck in a way that christopher reeves would understand. Soft plastic, foam spikes attached with a 3m type tape or velcro would be safe for any motorized vehicle implement. and still give the same visual effect. MY $.02 ---
