HJC makes a good percentage of them, but they are not the only HD Supplier. You can find the same helmets (minus the HD emblem) for substantially less money.

HD has a Black modular helment with silver flames. It has a quick release buckle. Its DOT rated. I have one I like the heck out of. If you look inside this helment it has the works AVG 5047. Its made by AVG for Harley Davidson. The inside has a removable liner you can clean. I only wear quick release, No D rings here. I think the helments are in Drag Specialites book also. I've gotten face shields from them through the distrubitors.

I recently bought the FXRG HJC carbon kevlar full face. Holy crap! Super light. Winter helmet only, but if you gotta' wear a full face carbon kevlar is light weight.

Same here. Bought one toward the end of the riding season and really like it.

I believe CSI is correct, HJC makes a large percentage of the HD helmets.

I looked inside my helmet and it said HJC Corp. Made in Korea. Fits great and I love it. Just hope I never have to test it.
