An HJC AC-12 Carbon fiber Ducati helmet. This helmet has been professionally modified with stereo speakers mounted inside the shell and an 1/8" jack on the chin, that you can plug into with a radar detector, iPod, cell phone, or any Blue Tooth accessory. This helmet is in almost new condition in size XXL. It also has a DOT approved, quick release buckle, for quick on & off and still adjustable. Also comes with heavy duty padded bag. Retail was over $400.00, I'm asking half that for this beautiful helmet.

The AC-12 Carbon is based on HJC's very popular flagship helmet, the AC-12, which is used by AMA Superbike and Superstock racers Jason Pridmore and Aaron Yates, while AMA Superbike and 600 Supersport racer Ben Spies wears the AC-12 Carbon painted with his custom "Elbowz" graphic.
Helmet Weight
There are two reasons why a motorcyclist would want to own an AC-12 Carbon helmet: style and weight.
In my opinion, they don't get any better looking than this, especially in the raw carbon fiber look with the graphite-colored vents, which are perfectly suited to the coloring of the helmet -- or lack thereof.
The AC-12 Carbon is a flyweight, measuring in on the webBikeWorld Polder scales at 1489 grams (size XL), or 3 lbs., 4-1/2 oz. That puts it right down there with some of the lightest helmets we've tried.
Pick up the box containing the AC-12 Carbon and you'll swear they forgot to insert the helmet, it really does feel that light. And by the way, the AC-12 Carbon also comes with a cool helmet carrying bag (see photo), much nicer than those hard-to-use helmet socks that are so common.
