I had the N43 and now have the N44. It's a great helmet. Highly versatile and outstanding field of view. Do you have any information on an N45? I haven't seen any.

Revzilla sells the N44.

^^^ This.

I looked at about every 3/4 out there, and now own two Daytona's. Lowest profile DOT 3/4 I could find.

Price, size and quality, Daytona makes an ok helmet.
Quality, size and price, Skull Crush helmets. My choice. They currently have a sale on 3/4 helmets, limited colors. Reg $130.00, sale $50.00 that is a bargain on these.

I use the Shoei RJ Platinum 3/4 helmet. DOT and Snell rated. Snell approval in a 3/4 helmet is very hard to come by. I paid $250.00 a year ago.

I also have a Nolan N44 - great helmet and I like the built in Bluetooth option as well. I just picked up a Bell Mag 9 which is very low profile. The shell is smaller then the Nolan (which is pretty small) for the same size. The silly beak is removable off the bell, so don't let that scare ya!

I tried a Shuberth M1 and holy hell was it big. May be one of the best quality helmets out there, but talk about the Great Kazoo...

+1 on the Skull Crush. That's what I've been wearing for the last year or so.
