In the winter when I let my hair grow, my helmet fits great. In the summer I usually shave it and need a bandana to keep it from pulling back on me.

Unhappy

Just bought a ZOX BANOS half helmut (DOT) at local jap bike store, way cheaper than any Harley shop. Half the price, and fits very nice and low on the head. No mushroom head!!! There changing our laws here regarding helmuts, and will start FINING any one wearing a helmut that's not DOT approved. So i wanna be ready, dont feel like giving $200.00 away for a ticket!!! Oh, and not being allowed to move bike until you get a proper helmut!

Yeah the helmet is broken in and it get even worse as it gets older. I have a half helmet and it fits good, but on the highway it wants to lift off and pull my head back-that's what half lids do. I hate helmets so I don't use them that much even though I have 4 LOL! You don't want the lid to be painful when new, but shold be real tight.
