Fulmer helmets http://www.fulmerhelmets.com/Product/81.html use a quick connect to hook it up. The D rings suck... cant tighten them tight enough. To my knowledge this is the lightest DOT approved I could find. Great Helmet does not hurt my neck at all.

The Fulmer 81 is a really nice helmet with a low profile smaller look. But after riding with mine for 2 months I went back full time to my Vega XTS which I have 2 of. The Vega just fits my head better (oval shape) & doesn't lift at speed. The Fulmer puts too much pressure on my forehead. Too bad, it looks great. Any want a Fulmer XL Flat Black (23.75" head size) at a bargain? Like new.

I saw some sparkle orange helmets at a harley shop down in Lexington..... only had up to an XL, I need a 2X.... now I can't find them anywhere else..... anyone?

the fulmer 2X is too round for my oval head and I couldn't get it on right...... any comments on the internal shape of the Bell 500's ..... any brand I've missed?

I have a very limited helmet choice because I have a very large head, by large I mean XXXXL, yes thats 4 X's. For those of you that are like me Daytona helmets has a decent selection online, but they aren't exactly what I would call small.
