You can put what you like on fibreglass & carbon fibre lids, but on polycarbonate lids it is VERBOTEN! The glue on the sticker can soften the polycarb.

I prefer not to put any stickers on my helmets :no: I just wanted to know if the rules as been change regarding the gold B/S sticker or any other approved sticker on helmets for legal use. I know that most track days insist on the gold sticker, I don't intend on doing any track days anymore :no: but just was surprised that my new shoei neotec did not have the gold sticker. so just thought I would ask if there not used anymore. did some research on the B/S gold stickers and found this... it appears that they don't bother with the B/S sticker anymore because it was recently found that the ACU has been selling ACU Gold stickers to distributors of many different types of motorcycle helmets whether or not they met BSI Type A.  It was claimed that since the ACU received a royalty for the use of the sticker that they were devaluing the worth of the ACU Gold sticker by selling them to many undeserving motorcycle helmet manufacturers.

here is the link I found concerning the gold sticker!

Dave, did you get it half price like you usually do?  :popcorn: Or at least that's what you tell the missus that everything costs half of what it actually costs.

Steve.. the less the wife knows the better :yes: told the wife it was my original helmet which I got professionally painted which only cost £50.00 :grin: I would normally tell her it was asda price, but she knows I've recently replaced the rear tyre on my ZZR which was a used tyre I got from work and paid £25.00 to have it re-threaded :laugh: which is a big saving on new price :mfr_lol:

I don't call it being dishonest :no:  just bending the truth :whistling:

p.s well.... well bollocks deserves bollocks :wink: :mfr_lol: Andy.. being a good kind guy as kindly offered me the chance to bed down in his room :smiley: so if I can make it for the Saturday night on the GTR meet. we can talk some more  "BOLLOCKS" :wink: :mfr_lol:

Viper its a long standing joke that EVERYTHING he buys for his bike, (probably even his bikes) he tells his Missus that it cost half of what it actually did cost or he makes some nonsense up to keep her on side. He probably told her he found the new ZZR with its keys and the log book with a note attached saying whoever finds this bike can keep it.  :popcorn:


Lets not forget he's from Liverpool, they're a cunning, devious lot out that way.  :mfr_lol:
