    Abstract: A visual information display is added to a prior art motorcycle helmet having a headlight. A portion of the light from the headlight is diverted to illuminate an information indicator within the interior portion of the helmet. The information indicator is a translucent disk, rotated in response to a sensor signal, such as a heading indicator. Colored direction indicating symbols are projected onto the visor in an area not interfering with the motorcyclist's vision. A detachable cable connected to the motorcycle battery provides power to operate the headlight.
