I have been trying to get away from my ACC half helmet, bought a Daytona 3/4, what a pile of crap. That has to be the worst helmet made. I do not have a Fulmer dealer near by, so am trying to decide between the Bell Custom 500, Biltwell DOT, Rockhard Classic.

 

Wow....they sure sound crappy, thanks for the heads up on that daytona. I was looking at them online, have not seen one first hand. As for Licks Cycle...great people. I went to his shop here in Massachusetts last winter. My girl bought me the solo bag for the sporty, I also picked up a biltwell helmet (he threw in a couple t-shirts, hats and decals and **** like that). Super nice guy and cool shop, he had some nice bikes in there, too.

 

The Daytona 3/4 was the worst helmet I've ever had on my head...unbelievably uncomfortable. After that, I tried a Biltwell 3/4 and it was exactly the opposite...the best fitting and most comfortable helmet ever. However, after riding with the Biltwell, I was a little nervous about not having a DOT helmet so a buddy of mine, who actually works at a Yamaha dealer, ordered me a Zox Classic 3/4 DOT helmet and it fits exactly like my Biltwell did...way cheaper too.

 

Any pics ? Is it low profile

 

I have a full face, 3/4, and 1/2 helmets. The full face and 3/4 helmets are Z1R's and both are super comfortable, as well as full DOT and SNELL.

 

I don't have any pics of me wearing it, but, this is what it looks like. The visor is removable and there are 2 air vents underneath.

 

i could not agree more I hate the safety police that troll vids and always tell people what to do ! RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK !

 

i got my daytona helmet from licks, yeah they're not that comfortable, and the outer shell is cheap. I droped it probably only 2 feet and the started chipping. its pretty low profile for DOT helmet. Licks as a retailler is cool.

 

If it falls more than a couple feet, you should replace it...

 

Yup. Helmets are designed for ONE impact. After that, they no longer protect you, so need to be replaced. If it's an expensive one, send it to the manufacturer, they'll inspect it for you and tell you whether or not it needs to be replaced. Cheap ones like the Daytona aren't worth the trouble, and should just be replaced.
