I will post pics when it comes in and a review, suppose to be here Wed. Gonna still get a Licks when they become available, and maybe they will offer a Black Flake one.
I emailed licks to see about the timeline for flakes and they said "no flake anytime soon....atleast not for summer time"

Damn that sucks. I just hope the HardRock I ordered isnt too loose after wear. My head measures 23 1/4 exactly. Well on the sizing chart thats where the Large size begins, I hope it doesnt loosen up too much, I dont want to have to fight it when goin down the road.

Since the Outlaw I ordered didn't fit, I went the safe way with the Rockhard and went up a size, I came in at 23 3/4", but I went with an XL. Hopefully it fits.

For a DOT I like the Fulmer a lot.It comes low to the brow and the skirts seem longer which take away from the bobble head look.The fulmer seemed to fit my Head shape better than the Bell Custom 500.But remember its still DOT.PM me your email and I will shoot you some Pics.

I must have an odd shaped grape or something.. with a fabric tape measure, i'm exactly 24", but a large is too big for me (by just a bit), but the HD helmet i wear now is an XS.. yes.. extra small.. gosh diddly darn it i hate helmets..except for the fact that they keep my brains inside my grape..

i bought a SkidLid Naked in a size large and it was too big.. the HD helmet is well.. an HD helmet.. i dont know the model number, i got it like 4 years ago. my Bell 500 Custom should arrive later today, and we'll see how that one fits..

I haven't yet ordered an Outlaw or a RockHard..I'd like to try a RockHard in a medium, because it like it to fit a bit snug..but they've been out of stock everywhere for awhile now in a black.

I should have my Rockhard tomorrow. I ordered a Large, because my head measured just
a tad under 23 1/2. The size chart for rockhard shows, a large is 23 1/4 to 23 3/4. I fall rite in the middle of that size, so hopefully it gonna be true to size.
