I have bought many helmets in my quest to find the best fitting dot helmet. I have tried skid lid, daytona,nexl,hjc,& many others. I have now found the helmet. It is the ACC dot helmet. I have also bought the non dot. They are both great helmets. The non dot is tiny but fits great. The dot is the smallest helmet I have bought.I was actually gonna return it it to get the next smaller sheel helmet but wore it today for a test ride. It did really well. I'm actually gonna keep it. It was well worth the wait to get the helmet .
My buddy just got the ACC non-DOT so I have a reference and I want to get a pair for me and the girl. You said you have both, is the DOT much bigger, noticably different riding?
I saw in one of the HD motorclothes catalogs a DOT half shell that is supposed to be HD's smallest/lightest helmet made. It cost $69.00, but I haven't seen one in the dealer's yet. The price seems way to low, but do a search on HD and see.

Yes I bought both in the L/XL and the non dot is a lot smaller. I haven't tried riding with the non-dot yet.
