Experimenting this week. Called Daytona and got the measurments for their kids Dot Helmets. About a 1/4 inch longer and 1/2 inch wider, same height as my Novelty Helmet.

When it gets in, will compare the two. Hoping to be able to gut the new one, put in a thin liner and see if it fits like my novelty helmet.

Yeah, I know, still won't be a legal helmet, but hey, it has a ligit DOT id....

With any luck Michigan will drop the helmet law soon.

Went down to a motorcycle shop yesterday and picked up a bell 500. Cool vintage style, feels like a solid helmet. Very nice on the bike at high speeds, stays put, still has the open face, I love it. I'm going to stick with the 3/4 stuff.

I have a large size ... got from the guy on ebay. If anyone is interested, hit me up
I got the helmet today. Would have been nice to know that you dropped it causing a golf ball sized blemish on the top. Plus you replaced the snaps with the screws but one is missing. Yep.
I paid you full price for what i thought would be undamaged goods.
I guess the Fool was me.

I'll take it if it's the right size bro. I don't know what the fitment chart is for that helmet, but I'm a 7 3/8" hat size. Let me know?

Most of us on the forum are pretty stand up and I've always had good luck with fellow forum members here, but you are right, he should have stated the obvious.

If you look in the package ... I put a letter in there explaining the problems ...

I also gave you BACK YOUR CHECK ... right now, you have a less-than-perfect FREE helmet

All I asked was for you to pay me what you think is fair?

I wore the helmet once ... had it sitting around, I didn't realize the problems until I was packing it up to send to you. If you don't want it, I'll pay for shipping back to me.

Sorry

Didn't see the note with the check in it till now. Was too busy being po-ed. My bad.
I'll keep it and get it painted and put a new dot sticker on it. I'll mail a new check tomorrow.
