RE: Helmet

Check out www.jafrum.com They have alot to choose from and free shipping. I bought a HCI 100leather from them for $39.95+tax. My local HD dealer wanted $70 for the exact same helmet. It was the best fit of the ones I have tried on, but I don't like any of them. I'm used to my beenie but here in NC they are cracking down on helmets so I decided to get legal.

RE: Helmet

Anyone else like these Echo clasps? I put them on all of our helmets. After install, I cut off any excess strap and seal the cut edge with a match or lighter. The nylon melts and no fraying.

No more need to thread the strap through the catch. It just snaps.

RE: Helmet

Can't help you. My helmets make my head look huge because it is huge (7 3/4). Got a full face NOLAN,a 3/4 HJC, and a HARLEY/,China I'm sure, half. I only wear them to keep from scraping my brain.

Any suggestions for a DOT approved half helmet that is low profile and doesn't make my head look huge.

To my knowledge, what you're after doesn't exist. I have looked everywhere, and bought 3 of "the smallest DOT approved helmets made". They are huge and sit on top of your head like a growth of some kind.

RE: Helmet

I like the ACC helmet Blistic 29 Kevlar and Carbon fiber. Instead of 1 inch foam it utilizes a denser 5/8. You still look likea Q Tip though, but not as bad and it is DOT. Year late
