Just ordered a new ACC carbon fiber helmet...

I'm quite sure the quick disconnect on the novelties is all plastic. Their website shows a photo of another type of connector for the DOT version that looks like a miniature seatbelt latch. The DOT helmets looked much better than other brands but still had the mushroom look. The novelties have the same shell but a different lining that passed all the DOT tests except the penetration test. It came down to wearing the novelty for some protection or nothing at all. My wife's head is so small that she wouldn't wear anything else because of the size and weight.

Latch is metal surrounded by plastic. Mine is a "novelty" style and the latch is metal. I don't think they would sell a helmet with a plastic latch. A friend of mine has the DOT version of my helmet and side by side you can hardly tell them apart.

is a dealer 9closest dealer to indianapolis...does anyone know if they have a large selection or seen them there? Sure would like to have a chance of looking at one closely before just ordering one. Are these smaller then the HD carbon fiber helmets?
