I received my size Large flat Titanium Biltwell DOT helmet this morning.
The lining of the helmet is nice
The fit is good
The look....as my girlfriend said "bobblehead." or "marvin the martian"
Attached are two pics: The titanium grey DOT
Biltwell Gen 2 red wine mega flake pinstriped by Shawn at Imperialhouse71.
And just added Head Trip Carbon Fiber 3/4 helmet.
Im not sure whether i want to keep the DOT or not

I canceled my order on a Head Trip Carbonfiber 3/4 non-dot helmet. I might reorder that to see how it fits, feels etc...

Man...It's too bad that all DOT lids give that martian effect... Biltwell/Fulmer/Bell/ect...There is quite the difference between the DOT and non-DOT....
As for that "Head Trip" carbonfiber 3/4 lid non-DOT... Its smaller than the Biltwell non-DOT and fits great also. It's also padded everywhere on the inside. Very well made lid!!! The "HeadTrip" is better made than the "Biltwell"...One thing i highly recommend is to get the metal strap clasp as i have the plastic one. And at high speeds, it has minor strap slippage, of which wouldn't happen with the metal clasp.
I like both the Biltwell and the HeadTrip ... non-DOT of course.
Sizing "HeadTrip" vs. "Biltwell" non-DOT

that thing is huge.I wonder how much smaller the s,m shell is.That makes my size Med. Fulmer v2 look like a non DOT Biltwell. Thanks again for the pics. I believe you saved quite a few people a hundy spot.

here is a side by side picture of the Flat Titanium DOT and my Flat Black NON-DOT Biltwell
My girlfriend commented how the ear area on the DOT looks bent in more and that causes the "bobble-head" "martian" helmet look...
And yes traveler since there are helmet laws in states and people want a light close-fitting helmet thats comfortable...
