Helmet help
I'm looking for a new helmet and am having a tough time finding one that doesn't feel like its floating ten feet above my skull. I've tried the Bell Drifter, Bell Shorty and several of th HD helmets , but can't find one that tucks down low without being too much like a full face. I've seen them on the road, so I know they exist. Any recommendations?? Thanks

RE: Helmet help
I definitely you what you mean about the "floating"...looking for a new helmet myself...the one I have now looks silly, like I got a mellon on my head.
This looks pretty cool "nolan outlaw" not sure how it fits..

RE: Helmet help
Just get one that fits you right...doesn't matter which one it is, weALL look like the "Great Gazoo" in a helmet...if you think you don't, you're just fooling yourself...and if your friends say you don't, they're just lying and being kind...please do the same for them...[sm=laughingsmilie.gif]

RE: Helmet help
If you want a DOT/SNELL approved helmet, your going to have a mushroom head, very difficult to wear and look cool. Night Rider nailed the image:The Great Gazoo...lol. Iknew there was a reason I opted for the full face helmet.You can opt for the carbonfiberhelmet link and play stupid with the cops that stop you.

RE: Helmet help
Carbon fiber helmets are DOT approved Ruralmed. You can buy them either way. That's from carbonfiberhelmets.com. I don't know about other helmet mfgs.

RE: Helmet help
This is what I use, I had the same problem with the lifting and they looked like a mushroom on my head, this one is snug and doesn't lift up at all...

RE: Helmet help
I have the same problem...skinny head and big helmet. I have tried about everything with not much luck.
Those carbon fibers sound promising.
HJC is supposed to release a new helmet on the 30th, the FS-2 that is supposed to be a little lower and with the sharper lines, it may not look like a mushroom. I am going to see how this one fits.
