Hey guys, Im really new to the whole ATV scene but decided to dive in head first and just picked up a used '01 DS650 and have to say WOW, these things just flat get it! I have never even ridden a 4 wheeler but have had a few street bikes and a couple dirt bikes but always wanted an ATV and can say I am very happy with my newest addition. I have been looking for a good used bike for a lil while now and was mainly looking at banshees just because of their huge aftermarket but found what I believe to be a really good deal on my quad ($3000) and it just had the top end rebuilt by a local dealer. Anyway I am in desperite need of a helmet and was looking at the Vega's because I am a little strapped for cash right now with just dumping 3 grand and all and wanted to see what you guys thought and maybe some other suggestions for a good reasonably priced helmet. Thanks!

 

Check out E-Bay if you want the best deals[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Also what are some good tires to run for trail riding? Mine are almost bald and dont like to hold air for more than a week. Also, do these things have charging systems for the battery? The reason I ask is because when I got it, it had a low charge and it was enough to start it a couple times but after about an hour of riding it starts up without a problem so I figured it had to have some kind of stator assembly. Thanks in advance for the info.

 

i got my afx for 70$, its comfortable and looks good! what else do you need? you can get them throw dennis kirk, they also have other good deals on helmets and free shipping.

 

Go to rockymountainatv.com for parts, check out the razr tires, I bought 21x7x10's for the front and 20x11x9's for the back.

Heres a pic of them on my 03 Baja:

Looks GOOD!

 

Thanks, I have done alot since that pic was taken. If you prefer the black plastic you can get the whole package for 225 dollars...

 

From where? you?

 

Yeah and that is why I was looking at the vegas and my buddy at work does stunt riding on sport bikes and he said their stunt coordinator was using a vega helmet for trail riding and took a good spill and the helmet actually split in half on impact! His buddy wasnt going that fast but it was a good drop and luckily he wasnt even hurt but he went out the next weekend and bought a new Shoei. I figured they all had to be SNELL approved and the higher grade helmest just exceeded that but after hearing that storie I want something that wont give that easily.

 

225 for the tires or plastic? if plastic, were?
