Need a Helmet recommendation...
I need to get a new helmet for this season. Can anyone reccomend a good DOT Half helmet? Im looking for the smallest DOT helmet available. I found a company online by the name of Daytona Helmets. They claim to have the smallest DOT half shell available. Anyone heard of these guys? Are their helmets really that much smaller than everyone elses?Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks to everyone.

I have one of their helmets. I like it and it does not make my head look like a mushroom. Not sure if it's "The World's Smallest", but it's nice and I enjoy it.
I also have one of these http://www.jpcycles.com/productgroup...3-24D557D52C60and they are just as small as the Daytona ones. DOT as well.

The carbon fiber are great helmets I have the non dot, the only thing it does not pass is the puncture test because of thinner pading, It is so light I have reached up a few times to make sure it's on.
The1st pic is the dot one my buddie got, he wears it all the time, since he got it it is the only helmet he wears.
the 2nd is the non dot

Like some of the other responses, I too have a DOT carbon fiber helmet. It is the closest that I have found to the non DOT helmets. Super light and small. The price is high, but worth it in my opinion.

I have 3 helmets and this one is the smallest DOT helmet I could find that fits good and doesn't look like a mushroom on yer nut. It's called the Bone Yard.

RE: Need a Helmet recommendation...
I have one of the carbon fiber helmets from ACC, and I really liked it. It doesn't have much padding, so it wasn't the most comfortable helmet on the market, but I really like the size of it. However, I don't wear it anymore. It's blue and it matched my Deuce perfect, but I traded the Deuce for my Softail custom and I think it looks funny wearin' a blue helmet with my black bike. I just got a Harley helmet now, and I really like it too. It's a fatter helmet, but it's really comfortable.
