Nobody has one. The owner lives in Brazil takes your money up front then gets back to you 7 months later. By this time your wife has henpecked you into selling the bike so u keep helmet in closet cause it's so expensive you ain't tossing it in the deal.
They don't make dot legal either.
Nice designs though, go for it. You've been warned.

Buying a novelty helmet is like going to the doctor and requesting a novelty vaccination. You go through the motions of getting protected, but in the end it does nothing for you. Or how about this concept... Novelty condoms. Go ahead use them with confidence!

Nice looking helmets. way overpriced for a plastic hat though. Get a Bell , Biltwell , or Licks for very little coin and D.O.T. approved. I know they give you big head but oh well. Hit the ground and you won't even care about big head. lol!
