Here's a Fulmer V2 XXL for comparison. I thought the V2 looked a bit bigger than the Bell but now I'm not so sure.

Yesterday I ordered my Bell 500 Speed Soul!

Now I will have:
- Bandit Jet - Star Edition
- Buco - White, from the 1970's
- Motorbrigade - Gold Metalflake
- Louis - Haghway 1 Retro
- Biltwell - Flat Black
- Bell 500 Speed Soul
--------------------------------------------

Already have something as a collection
I plan to continue with:
- Rockhard Low Profile - Flat Black
- Fulmer v2 - Easy Rider /this is a problem, Fulmer does not sell online ... very strange Commercial policy/
- Daytona Cruiser - Silver Metalflake
- Something else ...

I got back from Iraq last night and I just remembered that I had ordered the custom 500 speed soul a few months ago...so I had my wife dig it out of the closet and I'm not sure how much I like it. Its light and seems comfortable but the lollipop head is to much for me. I tried it on and my wife looked at me and said "maybe we can sell it on craigslist". So I guess she didn't like it either. I'll wear it on a few rides but I have a feeling I will stick with my skid lid.

Selling huh?.....with a name like "Big Jed" I assume it's not a Medium sized helmet.

I met a guy who had the same Captain America helmet. He took sand paper to it and gave it a matte/worn finish. Looks awesome!
