Just bought a VEGA XTS NAKED. Fits comfy and is more narrow side-to-side so doesn't have that mushroom look.
Still a little thick front to back. $60.
I choose the vega over others I've seen (like HCI) because I don't like the padded straps the others have. I was never able to find a daytona to try. And the ACC helmets are too expensive for me. I tried one of their Trooper style DOT helmets and it still looked BIG.

I got one of these from Hells Bells Customs. A little pricey at $125, but the memory foam is comfortable during long rides.

Daytona has solid colors, "custom colors," and some graphics in 1/2, 3/4 and full face DOT approved helmets. Like I said before, I love mine; I've got the blue flames.

I have a Daytona 1/2 DOT, and I'm pretty happy with it. It was pretty cheap and a lot smaller than the one I got at the dealer. Plus it doesn't slide back on my head like my original helmet. I was considering a carbon fiber helmet from ACC, but i'm not sure if it would be any smaller than my Daytona...plus they're a lot more expensive. I've asked if anyone on here could compare the sizes of the dayona and ACC, but no one has ever responded.

Fits pretty good, but make sure you measure and order by their chart sizes. No mushroom head, but "no return on DOT" means don't order size based on what you usually wear!!
This is what a DOT helmet looks like on your head. That's why I wear the ACC/HeadTrip DOT helmet. It's not as good lookin' as novelty helmets, but it doesn't look like this either...
