I have a blue metal flake and silver metal flake helmet from Justified Defiance. Shoei brand in size large. It's in excellent condition.

Justified Defiance sells them for $180 + shipping. I'll sell mine for $130 shipped (firm) if anyone is interested.

Custom pinstripe and work from Imperial house. Just as I asked, for peanuts. That guy rocks! Highly recommended.

The only thing that changed since it's the yellow outline, now it's in black. It looks nicer in real!

Diggin' that! Too bad the wife has me on a tight budget! I'd love to get one of those for summer riding.

Ever thought about trying a football helmet? When I travel to a state without a helmet law that is what I wear, gets lots of funny looks.

Can't find any tag on it which says it has any approvement or whatsoever.... anyhow it fits perfectly

Some mates wear them, I confirm they fit well, but like biltwell, they're NON-DOT (or other safety rules)

Thanks man! 50 bucks for the helmet (new and DOT!) 150 for painting, 200 in total for a new DOT helmet with a killer look, it's quite affordable!

I've got both, Fulmer is a very good helmet, solid with a nice look, when you have it on your head it doesn't move anymore and protects well from the wind. but it makes me look like a mushroom. take one size bigger than what you usually wear.

The fulmer is slighty smaller so it gives you a better look. You will see the quality is not so good as the fulmer (really far from it). The fulmer has a real hard outer shell, but the outer shell from de Daytona is flexible (the part at the cheeks)!!!!!!!

So how can it be DOT????? I don't feel protected with that thing, but it really look good wearing it.

Well I alternate then. For long rides : Fulmer, short ones : Daytona.
