Tartarus looks like he has it pulled back a little in his pic, if you look at my sig, it sits a little further down on my brow line.....it ain't the lowest but it will do

+1000 on the rockhard, Ive put about 100 miles with mine on. Love it, it just gets better and better, seems like it gets softer too. The inside is just amazing, its almost too soft. Doesnt feel like a helmet at all, keeps the noise down. Very comfortable, Im gonna get the silver one also. You can tell as soon as you open the box its well made

Yeah I might just have a long forehead or it is pulled back I measured and it is about an inch above my eyebrows the angle is from the bottom as well but the helmet doesn't really give the bubble look still IMO I am happy

here is a side shot

I got the rockhard in size small, it is definitely smaller than the Custom 500 same size , I love it. I have another one of those crazy canadian 'DOT' beanies which is really tiny and good for maybe warm sunny days.
I love the Rockhard ..I will post photos of all three shortly.

Just got an email from Motorcycle Super Store telling me that the Rockhard Matte Black in Medium is back in stock, so my order is in and hopefully they'll be shipping today...

Has anyone been able to contact Lick's about the second batch of NovDots? I'm quite content with my RockHard that i'm trying to cancel the Licks, but they don't answer their phone or reply to emails..

Here is the RockHard side by side (sorta ), with the crazy noname CAnadian dot beanie.
The beani was from the show, seriously I have no idea how to get it otherwise !.. they run 130 (including tax), the RockHard was 120$ including shipping.
Of course the Custom 500 is now for my wife (you can see it in my sig)..
My choice would be.. for best protection and small profile the RockHard can't be beat (not sure about the licks , their sizes are off a bit).. all helmets are small, except the beanie is in Med, there is no 'give' on those.
