I use Fog City inserts already, I was actually referring to the Akuma helmets as well as the photocromatic visors. Akuma lids have LED's inserted in them, red facingh the rear and white forwards which I think is a great idea, as well as that their designs are sweet, I especially like the "Ghost"
Thank you for the kind words Patch. Our CEO is a former US Navy pilot, and we modeled this helmet after the Jolly Roger F-14 squadron. We didn't want this to have a big United States feel to it though, which is why you don't see U.S. Navy on it. Most countries have a Navy, so this can apply to any country. Only thing on there that tells you this came from the U.S. is the star and two bars. Who's to say that a nice Union Jack decal can't fit over that though, yeah? Or a German, Spanish, Italian, or any flag?
And yes, the LED lights are a big hit. We have cops here in the U.S. stopping guys just so they can look at the helmet. No tickets have been issued, the cops just like to see how the helmets work.
The white "map" light has come in handy for a number of people too. Guys riding at night have used it to look at maps, fill their tires with air, even fix minor problems with their bikes. Other guys use it when they enter their garage at night to get to their bikes. Seems to be a very useful tool.
The LED lights in the back have also helped cars and trucks see them a lot easier from behind at night.
