#100490 Mark7 (User) Look for me on MSN chat if you want. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1066 Re:THESE are the HELMETS! 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   SHAG, Not to be a fly in the ointment on your helmet but... Regardless of what you've been told I don't see how that helmet can be a bone fide DOT "approved" lid. Standard for a DOT helmet require: S5.5 Projections. A helmet shall not have any rigid projections inside its shell. Rigid projections outside any helmet's shell shall be limited to those required for operation of essential accessories, and shall not protrude more than 0.20 inch (5 mm). If the decoration is some sort of soft foamy plastic or something, maybe, but if it's metal(as it appears) it ain't DOT.

NOT METAL and (<5mm in thickness. This is a "Daytona" D.O.T. Helmet, with the plastic 3D elements epoxied and hand painted. They are meant to give a metallic appearance, but they are not metal, nor are they made of a rigid material, as they are moulded around the helmet and are semi flexible to the touch. The company who makes this helmet also offers the same in novelty versions.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #100605 underdog2003 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 108 Re:Half helmets question 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago     Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
