This is a nice 3/4 Its non dot but comes low on the brow and doesn't give a crazy bobble head look,But unlike most of the non dot 3/4 This one has Impact foam.Just not the 1 " for dot.It has about 1/2 " instead. Loser Machine Knuckle Head.

Took my outlaw out for the first time today( 37 degrees!!) and loved it. One thing I noticed is there is no "lift" at higher speeds. Got up to 75 on highway and it wasnt pulling at all. Stilla little work to do with the bat on it, but Im very impressed. Attachment 175459

I think I will get a novelty scull cap and CAREFULLY peel the DOT sticker off another, put it on there along with loud pipes ,dilligaf, and other stickers (no pig stickers), and hope if I get pulled, I won't get a ticket. Helmet laws suck

Helmet laws suck, no doubt, but considering that for some reason or another people are driving worse and worse, i'll keep my DOT on..

and if you really want to put a sticker on a non-DOT helmet, you're best bet is honestly to get some sticky paper and print one out, then shoot the whole helmet with a layer of clear coat or something.. depending on the finish of the helmet.


"Motorcycle helmet manufacturers are required to affix the certifying “DOT” symbol to the outer surface of the helmet. The color of the symbol’s lettering must contrast with the background.

The “DOT” letters must be at least 3/8 inch (1 cm) high, centered laterally with the horizontal centerline of the symbol located a minimum of 1 1/8 inches (2.9 cm) and a maximum of 1 3/8 inches (3.5 cm) from the bottom edge of the posterior portion of the helmet."

heh..or google is your friend:

Removing the snaps and reinserting the screws is the way to go imo. Or, silicone the holes...
