Default Slim dot helmet

Can anyone suggest a slim DOT helmet, I have a Harley that makes me look like CHIPS...

Maybe Carbon, low profile.

The helmets listed on justified defiance aren't DOT but they meet the old days standard.

While the ACC helmet is much smaller than any other DOT 1/2 helmet I could find, the strap sux *** on the one I have.. So I made it better.. lol.. Bought a cheapo Outlaw and tore it apart and used the straps on the ACC helmet.. MUCH better now..

ACC makes the smalest and lightest DOT 1/2 Helmet plus great service. The down side is a little pricey at $ 175 mention the forum and they give 10% off, great customer service.

For abour $50 the HCI 1/2 Helmets are DOT and much smaller than Fulmer, HD , Bell ect. Look up Helmet City International HCI

On another note I have a Fulmer 1/2 Helmet size large in gloss black for sale if your interested. It is samller than the HD helmets but larger than the ACCC or HCI

I have a 1/2 Daytona and have been very happy with it. The chin strap gets a little uncomfortable on longer rides, but it's not terrible.

I had a buddy that had a carbon fiber and he absolutely loved it. The daytonas were priced a little better, but both look great.
