slyder; did you visit NE Mototcycle Parts (on 84th off I80)? They have a good selection of helmets & I can't recall the particular one in your thread starter, but there were quite a few DOT selections that seemed slimline. Good luck w/your search...
Didnt try there. Ill be heading back down in a week or so...so ill stop and check it out. I know not to go to Dillon or Holstiens again.....jesus they are high on everything.

found a guy on ebay that has the Outlaw. He has 4 left in Large and 10 XL. Last night when I found it he had 8 in Large! Selling like hot cakes.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/REAL-...item3cb73290ec

My skull measured between 22.5 and 22.75 depending on where i measured. I bought a Large. 22.75" falls into the XL category according to their size chart. Id rather have it snug than wobbling all over.

You're right. I have a rule that if I don't have anything positive to add, I don't post. This is the first time I broke that rule. It's a BS excuse, but I'm having some problems with my bike and I was kind of pissed off last night.

To Slyder: My apologies, and good luck finding a helmet that you'd like to wear.

Here is a link to my outlaw helmet review with a couple of pics. I really like it and feel like it is one of the smallest DOTs out there.

No problem slyder, takes alot to get me going too but as Iceman24 put it, I hate it when a thread goes south.

ALL helmets make us ALL look like The Great Gazoo.




If your friends tell you that yours DOESN'T, they're just being kind.

Please return the same courtesy to them.

got my Outlaw ax30010 thursday. I am very impressed with this helmet. Even though they are made in China they seem to be made well. Very small very lite and I dont need to yank on the strap to get it to stay on my head at highway speeds. I love the unpadded straps. They are positioned perfectly around my ears. My wife and about 5 of our friends are already looking for one. They seem to be sold out everywhere now. I highly recommend this lid.
