DOT helmet sticker
I was just wondering if anyone has found a legitiment looking DOT sticker to put on a helment. I refuse to wear a huge hot basketball DOT helmet. Sucks that law enforcement has nothing better to do than both people about a helmet, thanks

Don't bother with the sticker....It will not fool anyone.
Just put the little soup bowl on your head and go.
By the way....Nothing looks dumber than a silly little plastic "Novelty Helmet".

In TN, no matter how authentic it looks, the TNHP will write you a ticket. They wanted to ticket me for my shortie helmet even though the DOT symbol was imprinted in the finish. The cop was pi$$ed because he had no way of proving my helmet was not DOT approved.
Oh, there are plenty of things associated with motorcycles/Harley Davidsons that look dumber than novelty helmets.

My Akoury AK-88 is close enough to being a non-DOT anyways, if you didn't see the inside you would guess it was a novelty.

I've worn a full face modular helmet for years...I've never felt too hot in it.
I was hit in the face with a large piece of truck recap about ten years ago at 80 MPH...It took me off of the bike.
Helmet was badly damaged, I had road rash and bruises, but got up and walked away.
You would have been dead before you hit the pavement.
Being dead looks even more stupid than a little plastic "Novelty Helmet".

Some places give a separate ticket for the false sticker, but a lot of leather shops that sell helmet stickers I have found to sell the DOT sticker if you ask when no one else is around. My days of wearing non-DOT are way over, seen too many saved with real and killed with the fake. My Akoury AK-88 is close enough to being a non-DOT anyways, if you didn't see the inside you would guess it was a novelty.
