I have a retro SplitFire Kawasaki helmet from 1998 I think. Never worn but a little weathered over time. Worth anything?

As a person who paints helmets in their garage...I resent that comment.

Grinning your helmets look awesome, but i'm pretty sure the splitfire lids weren't done at someone's house...

For the record though, as an obsessed 90s Moto fan...that is the replica for 1998 team PC that was released from Bell.

as a fan of all things 90's moto, i don't think it is.. look closely, crooked lines everywhere. the repop bell was a graphic that was cleared over.. look at the 2nd pic where the black part goes into the vent.....

I say it’s the real deal. FWIW the bell paint jobs always looked amateur compared to the shoei TLD lids

I wouldn't go by that necessarily. I bought a late 90's YoT Bell helmet, it wasn't the official replica as it had a plastic visor. However the lines didn't all line up on it either. That helmet was sweet though.
