3/4 Helmet Comparison Biltwell, Bell 500, Lick's, Fulmer
So after many hours of researching helmets, I thought I would put together a little comparison of 4 highly talked about 3/4 helmets that are D.O.T. Approved or meet the D.O.T. Standards. As my research has shown, along with trying helmets on, each individual head is going to fit a helmet differently. *** By no means am I recommending one helmet over the next, but simply wanted to share the below information.

Thanks nevil. I wish I could buy all four and do a fitment comparison on the noggen, but that isn't too feasible for me.

Can you send me a link to them as it is difficult to find info. on them when I go to their website. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place. I would be happy to add them to the comparison. Thanks for bringing them to my attention.

I'm kinda stupid and old, and I never wear a helmet. My wife does though. She used to wear a 3/4 helmet until she had this little meeting with the pavement a few years ago. Now she always wears a full-face helmet. If I was concerned with protecting my noggin, I'd wear a full face. Since I ain't too concerned about my head, I prefer to ride lidless.

Haven't seen the Lick's in person... but did get to model the Biltwell, Bell 500 and Fulmer V2. They're all pretty good helmets.
Ended up buying the Fulmer, because I liked the gold metalflake color. It's very comfortable, and a great value.
I'm wearing it in my sig pic.
