Default Help for a melonhead

Guys,
I normally ride with an Arai Signet full face helmet... Used to ride JAP, and this helmet fit. AND ONLY THIS HELMET.. Its a 3XL. I would like to find a DOT shorty or half that will fit. Any other melonheads out there got any ideas?

Tired of getting razzed about my sportbike helmet, and would like to try a shorty. But I got me a big head!

Thanks!
GOS

Check out Carbonfiber.com, they can custom make a helmet for you. Not cheap, but a quality, lightweight helmet.

From another melonhead. I got a Harley half helmet size 3X. It fits very well. Too many brains, I guess.

1/2 helmets suck on a street glide. The buffering can really be felt when it catches the rim of your bucket... IMHO Get you bucket painted something cool and call it a day...
