Default HD 3/4 Retro Helmets

On the cover of the 005 issue of HOG two guys are wearing 3/4 helmets. In the 006 issue letters section it's mentioned that they are the new HD retro metal flake 3/4 helmets that should be available in dealerships. Anybody seen them yet or tried them? I've been looking for a Fulmer V2 but the one dealer anywhere close to me only has a couple and they're not in my size so I can't try one on before buying. Last weekend when I was at a dealer I didn't see the new helmets.

I want one, too. I went to the dealer this past weekend and they didn't have any.

Found an article that says it's going to be available in dealerships in July :

To keep safe on the road, look no further than the exciting new retro Metal Flake ž helmet, in its debut season as part of the Black Label Fall Collection, for the ultimate in authentic, laid back chic.

...

The Metal Flake helmets will be available in dealerships from July

Of course, that's for the UK.
