RE: helmets
What is your definition of "cool looking"? German, beanie, 1/2, 3/4, full face? You can look at http://www.helmetcity.com/ they do have some. I personally use a 3/4 (Arai SZ/m) for winter and a 1/2 for summer. (Fulmer patrol).. Aslo fit depnd on maufacturer and your head. Not to be sarcastict, but I could not find a comfortable Bell helmet and my Fulmer is nat as comfortable as the Arai. IMO, you have to go out and try some on for fit.

RE: helmets
Since it's summer I wear the Fulmer 1/2 helmet...it's HOT here in TX...in the Fall and Winter I wear the Arai full face. Harley makes a sharp kevlar full face that I am thinking about getting too....it's a cool helmet when it comes to full face.

RE: helmets
I wear an Arai Corsair RX7 (full face), solid silver, 95% of the time. I've got a Fulmer DOT approved 1/2 helmet, but they suxors on the highway imo. There's so many helmets out there to choose from, guess you need to decide what type you want, then find one that suits your taste.

RE: helmets
There are so many helmets to suit every size and shape head known to man. It will take nothing but trying on many to find the ONE that fits just right. Kinda like having to kiss a lot of frogs to find a prince.... er, um... princess!!...whatever! (Same principal, but with just a little Disney twist. LOL)

RE: helmets
Well,.... I have a couple of helmets my first one I bought was a AFX FX-7. It's an ok helmet. Its kinda bulky but it does have a sun visor which is nice at times, but I bought it clearenced for only $20.00 so cant really complain. I just recently bought me a HD helmet,... its more of a beanie style,... Its pretty comfy and really lightweight and I also got it clearenced for a lil under $50.00. I'm a sucker for a good deal.....LOL And basically each brand fits a lil different so the best advise is to go and try on several different ones that catch your eye and then get the one that fits the best.

fit good. Same thing. What I did was to go into a store that stocked a wide variety of brands and sizes.
I wanted the best helmet, and plenty safe. Personal experience ten years ago taught me that helmets are good. I ride alot w/o a bucket, knock on wood.
Anyway I knew I wanted the Shoei X-Eleven, so I tried them on, asked the price, and realized I could save a considerable amt buying on the internet, and I knew the size.
Ordered here:

Excellent service, quick shipping, way cheaper.
