Helmets that fit in a GT200?

[regabbott]

Please help anyone,

I've bought a GT200 which is great, but although Vespa say that you can fit 2 helmets in the saddle, the piaggio one I've got doesn't quite fit and I can't find a Vespa dealer with a pair that I can try for size.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Regabbott.

Hi Reg, thanks for joining us at vespa.org.uk.

As far as I'm aware, when Piaggio say you can fit two helmets in the under seat stowage on a GT, they mean two of those continental, open-faced, demi type helmets that don't come all the way down the sides of your head, but for the usual type of open-face helmets worn here in the UK you'll struggle to get two in. You may be able to just about fit one full-face helmet in there, but I doubt it due to the awkward shape of the stowage space.

Hi mate. You can buy the full European open faced helmet with a pull down visor from JPHelmets.com or the Ebay seller 'jphelmets'. They are excellent as I have one and only cost 43 quid plus postage for a Fibre Glass Helmet direct from Japan. What a bargain

Thanks for this, I'll check them out, Reg.

Don't forget to check if they meet BS standards before you buy the Japanese helmets though lads, some of those for sale on ebay don't.
