Does anyone know where.....
there is a shop in Illinois that sells helmets(besides a HD Dealer) where I could try a helmet on before buying. I am looking for either a Fulmer or Vega. These are the DOT half helmets that are low profile without the mushrooming effect. I would love to get an ACC helmet, but these others are DOT approved and about half the cost. Or, does anyone have any other suggestions for a actual low profile DOt half helmet in the area that doesn't make me look like a giant ***** comin at ya?!?

Check the metric/Victory shops. Also the Easy Rider Harley rental outlet if you have one. Keep in mind that you can't see yourself in the helmet while riding - it's not a fashion show.

You might check a Super Wal Mart near you.
I was in the automotive section the other day & noticed they stock all kinds of helmets & goggles.
i was suprised.
They had half & full face helmets

Check these out http://carbonfiberhelmets.com/dothelmets.htm#
I found this the other day and like the looks of them. In the link I gave the helmets are DOT approved. They are pricey but look like top quality. I just bought a mushroom style helmet so I can't see buying one of these right away. Let me know if you order one I would like to know how they fit.

The Harley dealer in Rockford carried a variety of brands. I bought my Bell helmets there.You are right wanting to try them on, because an XL inone brand is tighter than aL in another. I also found that some helmet liners round some are oval.......good luck finding one that fits right

From a background in the biz, I can point you to Honda House of Elmhurst for the Vegas, Fullmers are just about everywhere. Largest selection is at Nielsen's up by the chain ofmost brands. One of the things to consider is that neither of your choices are carried by Parts Department Unlimited, so a lot of dealers will only stock what PU sells. They seem to have a virtual lock at all the jappers.Best to phone first.
