That looks pretty cool not sure about the head in it though........

 

I ordered an extended half helmet (DOT approved, natural color) from ACC. I talked with one of the ladies that works there and they had one in stock and it should arrive this week. I also mentioned that I'm a member of HDforums and she gave me 10% off. I'll give you my review once I try it out.

Pechocho

 

I like this one

 

I ordered one from ACC too. They were out of stock of my size and it will be 2-3 weeks. I did get the 10% off.

Since I live in a non-helmet required state I was seriously looking at their novelty helmets...they look pretty good but I opted for the DOT.

 

That ACC helmet looks pretty good. I am tempted to try a brain bucket but memories of trying to intubate people that have ground off their lower jaw hold me back. As anyone on this forum hit asphalt with a partial helmet on?

 

I have found that the Snell Foundation approved helmets are the ones that look so big. Most DOT helmets are not as thick, especially on top of your head. The Snell is really for multiple impacts in a crash, like those you get in a race car crash. DOT helmets will provide adequate protection for a motorcycle crash without making you look like a moon man. I have a Bell 3/4 and shorty and both fit well without the bulk of the Snell standard.

 

This helmet is made by Helmet City http://www.helmetcityinternational.c...ets_1_prds.htmI have a Black one one that has the maltese cross and skull on it. They are pretty good fit and small for a DOT , fiberglass helmet. Mine doesnt lift at all when I ride since I took off the visor and they dont look like a mushroom head like the HD helmets. Not too expensive either the shop in my area sells them for $ 55.00 -75.00.

I also have a ACC (carbon fiber)DOT in Black Candy and it is buy far a lighter and closer fitting helmet but a lot more expensive. If you can afford it the ACC is your best choice. Let them know you are a forum member for the 10% discount and if your head is not real round you may need to send it back for some custom sizing to make it right. Their customer service is great and they will fit the helmet to you.

I got the same one DB. I'm lucky to be working in Orlando where they make them. Went in to try all their stuff on and ended up getting 20% off. Great people to deal with. Mine lifts a little over 90 but not much. I got dropped on my head alot when I was born so I got an odd shaped head and the helmet fits it just fine. You're right about the weight,light as can be. Really helps with fatigue after several hundred miles.

 

Good luck ordering w/o trying on, with my fat head, I have to try several to find one that is not putting pressure on the sides of my head. If I don't, it's headache city after about 30 min.

 

it would be helpfull if on all the websites selling these helmuts would show them on someones head so you could tell if it looked like "mushroom head"---also it's nice to try on the helmut on the spot, buying one online makes me a little nervous.I like the one on"back again"nogan---where'd you get that in orlando?----let me know , thanx ---Cap
