Default New HD helmet. Need help finding it.

Monday I was on the HD website looking for a new helmet and saw a new model made by KBC that only came in black and looked alot like a ACH (military style kevlar helmet). I went to the dealer and they had not heard of it. I went to the website again and it was no longer listed. Has anyone seen this helmet and if so do you know the name?

Ya I have seen that helmet in a Harley shop in NJ, can't find it online either. Does look like a military Kevlar helmet though.

That helmet is made by KBC, and H-D sells them with various logos and finishes under a few different names. However, if you don't insist on having it with H-D logos on it, you can get it much cheaper from dealers that sell KBC helmets under the KBC model name, "Nomad."

Thanks for your help. It is the Harley #1 Half Helmet in the Black Label collection. Extremely hard to come by. Model # is 97277-10VM and there are only a few at select dealers. I ordered mine theough Seminole HD they have a few.

Well that's different than the one I pictured that I responded about. The problem you will have is that helmet isn't new, it's old and no longer in production, which is why it's hard to find a dealer that has any in stock.

I came across what I think is the same exact helmet in OD Green with the HD labeling from a HD Dealership in Illinois, I think. Seem to remember it being a fireglass shell.
