Nope ~ Joe King Speed Shop is by far the smallest/low profile non dot 3/4 helmet there is.

Personally, my Rockhard American Classic has been my favorite helmet. It's ridiculously comfortable and low-profile, too.
Ya lot of cash to take a chance on ordering without proper fitting.

Heres a video on Bell Rogue.

+1 on the skullcrush!! The only downfalls are 1. They are non dot 2. It took two months to get. That being said I love it, it sits low and is very comfortable!!

I had only 3/4's all my 47 yrs of riding..

Just bought us some new Bell 500 customs last summer,, Works for the wife and I.

They don't have the Mushroom head look like our other JVC lids did.

I've got a Shoei 3/4 helmet, the only one they make that isn't a full helmet. It's bigger than some, but noise isolation is excellent, and it's much more comfortable than a full helmet. I use it on long rides, half helmet on day trips.

According to their website, Skullcrush has DOT helmets coming out this summer.

They look like the Torc T-50 to me, but with better choice of colors. If Biltwell doesn't slim down the Bonanza, I may go the Skullcrush route.

Hey guys an Update. I got the Bell Rogue helmet in a couple days ago. Verdict... Returning it.
It runs smaller than other helmets. I got a small and at the crown of my head it felt like it was pinching it. Also it is really really bulky. You get the impression that it has better coverage at a "smaller than full face" helmet, but it doesn't.

Overall it just looked good but didn't really work with what i wanted. sticking to my Licks 3/4.
