4 people so far. If anyone else wants one PM me. The more people we have the better chance of getting a lower price we have.

$125 got me a DOT Bell500 shipped...It's damn near as low profile and would guarantee that it's made better. I personally can't see spending anything more than that for a novelty helmet unless its from backstreet buckets and has a slick custom paint job. To each his own.. as long as your happy who cares what we think though.

Thats strange.I would love to see pics of the nearly as low profile Bell you have.I had a Silver Flake Bell custom 500 in med .And It was not nearly as lo profile as this helmet.Not even close.Please post some pics when you get a chance.As far as better made ,not in my opinion.Safer yes because of the 1" of required safety foam to meet DOT standards.But the Joe King has a far nicer finish and materials.My opinion is based on personally owning both of these helmets,not speculation.I am not promoting nor do I work for Bell,Joe King or any other helmet manufacturer.Just calling how I see it based on tangible evidence.

I like kazoo. Low profile? Not for me. I want bobble head.

Seriously, if it doesn't catch the wind and is comfy, then what do I care how it looks. Odds are that it works better too.

I have a Fulmer V2 dot. I paid 99 for black metalflake.

These helmets are pricey but worth the money IMO.If you thought about getting one.I don't think you will be disappointed with the quality once it arrives.
