I have a Super Seer helmet, and have a large melon head too. The XL fits me perfectly. They come with different pads to adjust the fit. It's the most comfortable helmet I've ever worn, and stays on my head without lifting.
I found mine brand new on eBay after watching for a LONG time. I'm pretty sure I got it for $60. I've had it for 3 years or so, and still love it.
I have two SS helmets. Got a weird shaped head and these are the only ones that are truly comfortable. I called and talked to a rep who was most helpful in getting me into the best helmet given my head shape. If you are really interested then I suggest calling and talking to one of the folks at SS. Not cheap but worth every penny.

I was thinking about a two tone half helmet to match my bike, but I know sure as **** within a month after I get it, the thing will roll off the seat at a stop, or get otherwise dinged up and the paint job will be toast. That's why I pretty much stick with flat black. I can cover up the dings with a sharpie.
I've got a Seer 3/4. I absolutely agree with everyone else.
If you call them and talk with Kevin, he'll be most helpful. They're just up in the mountains from me. I've toured their factory. You may think their prices are high when you simply see pictures of the helmets. Once you see the craftsmanship and quality that goes in to each one, you end up thinking they're the biggest bargain on the market.
To top it off, all the major components, and all the manufacturing is done right here in the US (right here in Colorado as a matter of fact).
I was interested in their 3/4 helmet so I visited their factory to try one on. They are currently changing over their 3/4 style to a new, lighter weight material.
Unfortunately, the round shape of their helmet just didn't fit my oblong head. I've found that practically all 3/4 helmets I've tried are biased to a round shape rather than oblong. However, Shoei has confirmed that their 3/4 helmet does fit oblong heads better, but I haven't pulled the trigger on one yet.
I was disappointed that the Super Seer didn't fit properly. I really liked the idea of supporting a local manufacturer.
I will be getting one of their 3/4 helmets soon. The 1/2 helmets aren't DOT. I see lots of motor cops wearing the 3/4 helmets.
Since I have a white RKC I'll be getting the white/black one... Matches the bike and gets everyone paying attention, slowing down, and give me plenty of room.
