Gecko Helmet

Hey peoples.

I'm looking for a Gecko helmet, since i'm tired of getting my face blasted while driving.

I'm located in Germany, so it should be possible to ship it over there.

Many Thanks

as far as I know Gecko no longer ship directly into Europe. We are a dealer for Gecko and have shipped Gecko helmets to Germany. Pls drop me an email with qty / colour and i will email back the terms

please email to info@parkerribs.com

I have looked at the pictures on ebay and it seems that there are no studs for the visor only holes perhaps even blanked off holes so you cannot fit a visor without them.

sometimes buying something cheap is not always the best solution
You should have contacted Richard (NautiBuoy) I am sure his Gecko comes with a visor

I've converted several of the SBS Black Geckos to use a visor by simply adding studs over the marked spots.

Even made up a jig that fits in my vice to act as an anvil behind the part of the stud that goes inside the helmet.

I still have some spare studs etc if anyone wants me to convert theirs.

Cheers.

Took a while as I hand cut them with a scalpel.

The font matches the name graphics I also hand cut to go on the side of the RIB Console.

It's called 7 year Vinyl.

It comes in loads of colours and can normally be picked up really cheap as end of rolls etc from sign makers.

I have some White and Black that came out of a skip outside a sign makers as their waste so it was very cheap
