Licks vs Daytona
I'm looking to replace my 3/4 Daytona (DOT) with another 3/4 helmet and just checked out one of our sponsors sites, Lick's Cycles.
Anyone have one of their DOT 3/4 helmets and have any input??
Just wondering if their better then the Daytona's which are cheaper in price.

I e-mailed Lick's and asked why their helmets are better then Daytona's and why the $30 difference. We shall see if they respond.....

Can't help out w/ the licks helmet, but bought a Daytona 3/4 for the wife. She likes it when it colder outside. The Daytona is a DOT and they have like 4 or 5 different molds for each size. That way you don't have that "typical mushroom
looking" helmet.
On the other hand, I wear a fulmer V-2 which has more padding, more sparkle, that I truly like and feel safe wearing. It is around $80-$100 and very comfortable.
Not sure if this helps out, but I am sure someone will chime in.
Ride Safe!

Yeah, but is it a low profile helmet like the Daytona's and Lick's version....

I have a fulmer v2 as well, sits down nice and low on the head. Seems to be made for more round heads, i had to shave a bit of styrofoam out of the front for a good fit. I have never tried a daytona but have seen one and it looks like it sits nice and low as well.
