Congratulations! Glad these came to light

The last helmets from this initial run have been boxed up and will be dropped off at the Post Office tomorrow. I am going to let this thread serve as the interest thread to decide whether we will pursue another run of these. Regardless of whether that happens, I am incredibly thankful for those who supported us and trusted us with their hard earned money. This project could not have happened without all of you!

Having gotten to examine one of these up close, including the metal ears, the kit is just amazing!
Anyone who was on the fence about this should consider expressing interest in another run.

The circuit boards for the light kit for this helmet are in. I will build a few kits this weekend. I also found a handful vintage (a few 1978 and some 1983) 1sx1-t micro switches I will include with the kit. After some discussion with a few people, I will set the flashing rate on these kits to the slower speed that I used to offer, I think it looks better (if someone wants the faster speed I can change it for them).

Put me down for one. The MCR ears have a microswitch included so I’d love to get a kit without one

Here is a video of the new kit. Once I have a few more built, I will create a new ad in my Preferred Vendors section, or you can PM me for info.

I have a few of the MCR light kits ready to go, I am waiting for Art to get back to me about making a preferred vendors ad for them. So until the ad is up, PM me for info on the kits.
