I still have my first lid. I think it's a '93 issue Arai. The first dual sport crashie, that could be ridden in closed visor or mx style.
It started out black.
I doodled all winter and this is what came out. Some characters and inspirations....

And then 3 coats of clear coat over that.
I inspected the polystyrene once all the trim was out... feels soft to the same degree as my current one. But I've read about the degradation over time and so I don't think I'd trust this lid 100%. Also note  the detail seekers, the metal screw on the peak, will be replaced with a plastic one!
