What a great thread some great bitd stuff :daumenhoch:
I bought a few helmets one of which was a yes same as yours and yes foam was dust but cloth was intact and brushed it off washed in warm water in sink by hand it came up lovely then I replaced foam cheap as chips cut into Shape I've only taped into place so far till I work out what adhesive to use.isnt a rush job but is doable :daumenhoch:

I threw my old Yes open face out back in 1997, along with my Oakley Goggles as the foam had completely deteriorated on both of them but I did keep the JT RAcing Mouthguard and Oakley Half Mask. Then after I moved to Oz sometime in 2010 my mum called me and said she had found my first proper open face BMX helmet (the green Protec didn't count LOL!) in the loft at our old house. I'm not sure of the make but the lining was in one piece, a little loose but ok and the high impact foam has seen better days but it's all in one piece. I picked up a Haro Visor from Diesel (Dan) and found some Oakley Goggles on eBay...

Nice. Real nice that. Looks really clean too. Like the way the mouth guard mates with the visor.
Still hunting for that spare Bell helmet to rip out the lining.
