Thanks to all the great advice...that I have been leaching off of the OP...I ordered and received the Rockhard 3/4 helmet matte black...greatest helmet I own...and I have been through 5 of them.
I have a big grape and all helmets look like it should be yellow on me but Rockhard is the way to go! Now I just need to find a suitable half helmet so that I dont feel like Kazoo riding down the road...currently have the DOT Skidlid and cut the "comfort pad" out.

Very Cool! That looks VERY similar to the Canadian beaneis (that are running a tad steeper). Thanks for the pics man.

without poking fun, but if you're wearing a non-dot, and crash, its pretty much like wearing a plastic flower pot on your head.. your skull is still going to crack open.. that's the point of this thread, to post opinions on low-profile, good looking, DOT approved helmets.. so that way we can look decent and still keep our craniums in tact..
Oh yeah, my DOT approved helmet that I used to carry in case I got pulled over was in my saddle bag. When I pulled it out after the accident, there was a 1 1/2 in crack in the front of it. Didn't hold up to well there.

Here is the Helmet Inc helmet I got from Dennis Kirk. The photos suck, but, for $36 or so, and another 8-9 for a quick disconnect, not bad. Order a size larger than normal. Feels good, and for a DOT, I can't complain.

Have a HD half helmet, but haven't been wearing it this year because the comfort sucks and the wind issues. Read this thread and ordered a Rockhard today, matte black. Waiting to hear when it will be shipped, even though it said tomorrow when I confirmed the order, but we'll see.
