Cool, and good to hear the helmet worked out well for you and you are OK. Do you have any pics of you with that helmet on? Curious how it looks when on..

Any pics of you with that helmet on? Would help with my decision...Big size diff though, I am guessing much less padding.

QUOTE=ELECTRICMONKEY;4868740]I rode yesterday to conneticut to go get the fulmer helmet. I ended up getting the black one with the white stripe and us flag. This helmet is cool its light weight and is not thick at all. I bought an xl normally wear a Lg. I held it next to a sm hjc and the hjc outer diamater was about 2 inches bigger!
Looks really good! nice and low profile and old school. glad I got it.[/QUOTE]

I'm using an HCI flat black 3/4. No Gazoo look.

What I want to see first, since I have to order one, is a pic of one on someone's head. Can you possibly post such a pic?

Face sheilds rattle too much for me ... I prefer a dark sun visor. My favorite old school helmet is a police style 1/2 helmet I bought at a local HD shop back in 1984. I know it's too old to do much good, safety wise, but it's got some mojo. I'm am seriously considering getting a new HD light weight 1/2 helmet in the dull black finish...maybe a carbon fiber. PS: when I wear a 1/2 helmet I usually wear foam ear buds to cut the wind noise.

Only thing with the Biltwells is:

WARNING: This helmet is for novelty purposes only. It is not intended for use on- or off-road, or while operating motorized or non-motorized vehicles. Use of this helmet to operate any type of vehicle could result in serious injury or death.

(from their website)

Gotta protect the noggin you know... :-)

Fulmer's are DOT at least...
