Tron Legacy: Sam Flynn motorcycle helmet?
Looking for the helmet that Sam wears while on the Ducati. Does anyone have any insight as to which brand and model it is?

Re: Tron Legacy: Sam Flynn motorcycle helmet?
I wish I knew. I have, however, found some replica decals of the "89 Forever" logo on the back of his helmet:
TRON Legacy Vinyl Decal 89 Forever Flynn Lives S(2.5") - eBay (item 280619506443 end time Jan-31-11 19:44:24 PST) |

Shot in the dark? He is riding a Ducati. The film gives thanks to Ducati. I am guessing they gave them a matching helmet? This is the only one on their site that is flat black. Shouldn't this thread be in the PROP section? Seeing as it doesn't have any pics of the original prop... |

Re: Tron Legacy: Sam Flynn motorcycle helmet?
From what I remember hearing, is that the helmet was custom made to appear "futuristic," although, it didn't quite look a whole lot different from modern day helmets..

Re: Tron Legacy: Sam Flynn motorcycle helmet?
While I appreciate your input (THANKS!
) I'd just like to ask if you're certain? I don't doubt you, but I'd rather ask and make certain before purchasing a $500 lid.

After comparing it with the pics here: http://www.therpf.com/f9/tron-tron-l...0/#post1481913
I'm pretty much convinced its the one. SAS |

Re: Tron Legacy: Sam Flynn motorcycle helmet?
Sorry for the late response but yeah, I've compared it endlessly and it is the one. It was also in another thread on the RPF. Enjoy!

Re: Tron Legacy: Sam Flynn motorcycle helmet?
And about a month later I can add that while the screen used helmet may have been painted matte black, there is no need to do the same if you're making a replica helmet. The Shoei decal (front and back) can be scraped off. The decal will break into tiny "chips" but once removed together with the glue remnants it will look PERFECT.

Re: Tron Legacy: Sam Flynn motorcycle helmet?
Actually...and I hate to say so...but the Sam Flynn real-world helmet is a Shoei RF-1000. The tells are:
- The ridge between the two forward vents - The ridge on the forward vents, themselves - No rear chimneys - The non-integral rear air dam (seen at approx 3:54 in the vid: YouTube - Disney D23's Armchair Archivists) Which is unfortunate, because the 1100 is a truly spectacular helmet. But for screen accuracy, you'll want the previous model. Shoei RF-1000 Strife Graphic Helmets - Closeout Competition Accessories Last edited by imaginager; 04-16-2011 at 05:58 PM. |

Re: Tron Legacy: Sam Flynn motorcycle helmet?
easy but took some time, I just used my finger nails and picked it off and then cleaned up the sticky residue with zippo fluid and car bug/tar remover

Re: Tron Legacy: Sam Flynn motorcycle helmet?
That sounds like fun. I also have to change the visor on mine, since it came only with a clear one. Seeing yours has now given me the motivation to finish mine. Thanks!

Re: Tron Legacy: Sam Flynn motorcycle helmet?
The '89 logo, would the ones from the ARG work? I have a few kicking around the house.

Re: Tron Legacy: Sam Flynn motorcycle helmet?
not really, the ARG is very large..there was someone making retro reflective ones that had different sizes on one sheet.
