If it does I'm getting one for sure. They've been reading my thoughts all day!

Nice lid! How did you measure for size? Head mold? 2-3 months would be a longtime to wait if it didn't fit...

Metal? It may look that way but both the Biltwell novelty and DOT helmets shells are made from an injected molded plastic.I had a few myself.Scott at Backstreet Buckets does killer work no doubt.Dont get me wrong I loved my Bitwells.But they are not even close in quality compared the the Joe King Helmets.No its not DOT .But IMO the shell of the Joe King would take an impact much better than the biltwell.May be hard to tell by the pics. But in person the differences between the two helmets are easily apparent.The materials used,attention to detail and craftsmanship are far superior.Guess its whats you like better for the money.A fancier paint job or a all around better constructed helmet.Plus the Joe Kings are smaller with a lower profile.
