Default carbon fiber helmets

Im looking at getitng a carbon fiber half DOT helemt, prolly from www.carbofiberhelmets.com. does any one currently have one? if so, how do you like it? hows the weight of the helmet? and will they fit in a standard H_D electra saddle bag? also is there a reliable place to buy them online, since there isn't one in my area and they dont have web sales? if it helps im looking at the DOT polo

Jeremy?

Jeremy, I have one of their DOT Polo helmets and it fits easily in my hard geezerglide saddlebag. For anyone else the correct URL is www.carbonfiberhelmets.com

As far as local, have you tried:

Deranged Choppers
119 Highland Ave
Athol, Ma. 01331
www.DerangedChoppers.com

???

While they're not doing web sales, they're a pleasure to do business on the phone.

I use that helmet as well. It is a good fit, feels light. It's the first one I ever owned that doesn't start to give me a headache after an hour or so. I find the strap starts to slip at the adjustable side of the clip at high speeds and it lifts a little. Makes me worry it might slip down the back of my head and choke me. A friend fixed his by putting felcro on both pats of the adjustable portion of the strap ( before and after the ring) so that he can stick it together after it comes out of the metal ring. I plan to do the same.
