I read a thread some where on here yesterday that some one saw it on another forum.I am in the market for a new 3/4 DOT so I emailed Biltwell and they emailed me back all the info I provided.So I will now wait until they come out.I had a 3/4 non dot mega flake and loved it.

I had a 3/4 Bell back in the 70's that was Snell, but I don't think anything less than FF is Snell these days, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
I bought a 3/4 Daytona DOT a while ago. BIG dissapointment, the thing tries to lift off my head anywhere over 40 mph. I just want to keep the wind noise outta my ears...maybe it's time for a windshield.

I'm interested for sure. I loved the fit of my biltwell. The only thing I hated was the big sewn in label that said is WASN'T a DOT helmet. Curious to see what they come up with.

It was about 6 months ago ... Comming home from a bike nite at about 11 O'clock at nite. Went around a dark corner .... didn't see the gravel ... bike went side ways and threw me.. did a flip and landed on my head/with my Biltwell on.
