It's the law downunder and I would be very suprised if it wasn't the same in the USA --being the company that sells it HAS to stand behind it, and it's up to the dealer to talk to the manufacturer about it.
If I were the OP I would claim a safety issue and have it replaced by the dealer, or keep going up the tree till someone wakes up.....

Mine is the Hybrid, with the ghost flames. Spoke to the stealership yesterday, they want to keep it for 3 weeks until the HD rep comes to town. If that doesnt work they can keep it. it looks like crap. protection is more important than looks, but if the outside is in this condition what about the inside?

I got a FF helmet in June, "08. H-D of choice. Black of course. Put a scar on it the first week but we won't go there. Seems to be holding up ok, but, for some reason a couple of days ago I looked for the DOT TAG OF PROOF. Cannot find DOT nowhere but HARLEY & BAR & SHIELD is PAINTED front & center. I *** u me it was DOT since coming from the dealer but I thought DOT ID was required.
Is mine the only helmet without a DOT sticker or tag ?

Helmets are one of the few things that I will not buy from HD, because of such issues. They are usually just re-badge and therefore if you have a issue with the helmet you get this sort of customer service issues. I have had helmets from ICON , Scorpion , SHOEI and many others. When ever I have had a issue with any of these I call the customer service number and have always had a replacement shipped out at no cost. "Any sort of defect in the manufacturing of the helmet could be a sign of failure within the helmet."
