Check out Fox Valley Cycles in Aurora. They carry a good assortment of helmets.

I have a V2 and Bell 500. Sizing is the same on both and the fit is very similar. If your V2 is comfortable and you can't find a Bell to try on, I think you can confidently order the Bell in the same size as your V2. You're gonna like the Bell. It has a better quality lining than the Fulmer and is more comfortable for me.

omgtkk, thanx for the input. I've heard the Bell fits a little lower on the head also. Searched other threads on here nothing but good things about it. My big concern was the fit, thanx again. Guess I'll order one.

I bought the Bell 500 last year, Pro's- great fit & finish, very comfy.
Cons- no vents, very warm in summer temps, also not as slim as advertised, makes your head look hugh.

I love the look of the 500, but I tried every size and non of them "felt right". So I'de find a place to try them on before ordering one online.

Check out a Licks 3/4, DOT approved considerably lower profile than the Bell!
