A dot helmet that doesn't sit 18 feet off my head like the Great Kazoo?

Seriously.
 
I dig my Speed and Strength open face. Sits pretty low compared to other open face helmets I've tried and definitely looks cooler! http://www.jafrum.com/Shop-By-Brand/Speed-and-Strength/Speed-SS600-Restomod-Helmet
 
I like the Fulmer V2, and the Bell 500. The 500 is a little better IMO because of the chrome trim and better liner trim, but the V2 is actually more comfortable (to me). Both are about the same in terms of profile, and I think Biltwell's Bonanza is pretty close as well.
 
So you like them or do they sit properly on your head not like these new helmets that appear to satisfy some "drop from above" test the DOT has dreamed up.
 
My Fulmers fit well and comfortably, but every head is shaped differently. I'd highly recommend trying some on before you buy, if you can.

I'm seeing why the vintage full face helmets are popular now.

Yeah my next buy is probably going to be a full face 70's helmet from ebay and then get these guys to refurb the inside and maybe a paint job depending..http://www.hellmuttliners.com/

Then again I might just grab one of those builtwell gringos..

Other than vintage helmets I've always found ARAI to be a better shape than others.
 
If I had $400 to spend on a helmet I'd get the new Bell Bullitt

If I'm reading that site properly they are charging $750 for a re-furbed helmet and the waiting times is 4 months?

Really? Is looks that important to people??
 
Nah that's just a special piece I think...

"3/4 Liner using original interior Styrofoam "safety" shell starts at $75.00

3/4 "one-size-fits-all" liner using new high density foam in place of original Styrofoam starts at $100

We are able to make a custom patch for the crown piece for an additional $25.00. Please check with us first prior to shipping."


I think if you want leather, lambskin or baby-bottom it's extra.

Customer art is something that you work with the individual artist on and depending what you want it's going to vary a lot in cost.

I don't work for them - I just got a recommendation that's all :)

What i like about the bullitt is it's a retro helmet with modern protection and ventilation. I love my Custom 500 but it sure gets hot.
 
Just ordered one of these. On back order for a few more weeks. Supposedly the lowest profile on available. I'm a small dude so every helmet looks massive in relation to my body. We'll see how it shakes out when it shows up.

If'in you care about how you look on the bike with a silly looking helmet on, I'd think you'd be really concerned about how you're going to look after they rebuild your nose and jaw after you take it on the chin in an accident
