My old helmet's padding is shot, so it sits further down. This one fits snugly and has much better padding, besides the better shell. Not much different in looks. It sits just a little higher. I can live with this. Thanks for forcing the issue Terry. You've made Binx happier about what we were wearing, with your graphic description of my splattered brain. ::) Let's see if it holds up to the Hoist 100 MPH Test! They didn't do that one for DOT! ;) Hoist! 8)

I told you I'd let you know how I like it. Well I like it! It rides up in the wind much less than my old helmet ever did. It's light and comfortable too. And it looks fine. So, it seems to be the best way for me to go on this. Ordering a second one today. I just hope I don't run into any 7 lb. spears being chucked at my head! ;) Hoist! 8)

Howie,
I hate when those spears things shoot for your head! How much difference in size/wt in your helmet vs DOT version? john

Hey John, the DOT one required 3/4" of additional padding to pass. So that's 1-1/2" wider overall, still giving it that "melonhead" look, to me. I don't think it would be much heavier than the non-DOT one. The non-DOT one looks as minimal as my "toy" helmet, but supposedly proves excellent impact protection. I hope I never have to find out anyway! ;) Hoist! 8)

Howie,
glad these guys worked out and you like helmet, feel bad that the NEXL people were idiots. I do kinda like that helmet you got, I wonder if the black carbon fiber is close to the Black Crimson? john

Not sure about the CF look helmets John. I went with the Flat Black ones. They don't have that CF look to them. It's a smooth black matte finish. We're very happy with them. Hoist! 8)

I ordered the DOT version the other day and was given a 6-week delivery estimate, hopefully it will still be small enough to remedy my difficulty of half helmets exhibiting parachute like characteristics while strapped to my head.

I see they make one in green.  Gotta have it.  In addition to my Watermelon, I also have a Watermelon sized head.  They may have to make one bigger than their Large for me.  So I expect a huge wait time.  I'll call 'em on Monday.

Super Seer makes a darn good half helmet. They mainly make helmets for motor officers but they have civilian models also. You can order with your Harley-Davidson paint code and they get a good match......

I checked out the site and they do look excellent.  Lots of options, too.  The liners look pretty thick, though.

And here I thought it was just me with the HD 1/2 helmet and the wind.  No, I don't have a windshield, and in IL there is no helmet law (so I don't wear one...drop it), but on the occassion that I go to MO, or other states where it is required, I want something better. 

Thanx for the info Hoist!
