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...

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.
