I don't want to pay a extra 50 buck just for a HD sticker on a helmet .

 

Then buy a helmet from one of the 5000 other companies that make helmets

 

AGV, KBC and HJC;
link here,, then look at the "sizing chart"
http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...lf-helmet#tabs
And it's a roll of the dice which one they actually have.
We went looking for a modular for the daughter-in-law,, the Harley shop near them had one but it didn't fit well. Found the same helmet style and features in an HJC IS Max2 and it fit.
We could only presume the one Harley had was by a different manufacturer.

 

I don't about the others, but the HJC models that H-D sells are typically 1 model year older than currently available.

 

The HD helmet I have, is exactly like one offered by HJC.

 

I have a Harley helmet as a spare with the flip up internal sun shield and its a HJC model clear coated over the Harley Davidson decals.Not bad for the price if you can get it at a 20% off online dealer once you tried it on at the local dealer who wants full price.

 

If you look at the description tab or the features tab on the H-D website they'll usually tell you who manufactured the helmet. Like the link JohnMn posted above, that half helmet was made by J-Tech

 

Try on a helmet at a dealer and then order it from Amazon.

 

And Bell. If you look at a helmet on the Harley website, click the tab that says "Features" and at the bottom it will identify the manufacturer. If you then go to that manufacturers site, or another retailer--Revzilla, Motorcycle Superstore, Leatherup, etc.--you can identify the helmet with the same shape and features as the Harley helmet to determine how much extra they are charging you for the H-D logo.

 

or if you're getting it a a dirt cheap price. a lot of dealers will have 'blowout' sales on their helmets. my wife picked up the hd version of the agv blade for about 60% of what the generic blade was being priced at. plus the hd graphics were better and less obtrusive.

so the hd sticker is not always a bad thing.....
