AGV do a "classic" style for around $200 which is probably what I will go for when my build is finished

Look for a snell certified helmet or any other independently tested helmet that exceeds DOT certs
Good helmet is a must as what is you head worth. And a perfect fit for your noggen shape.

Hey Rolf -
The LS2 FF800 is called Assault here in the US. I recently got one and I'm happy with the fit and features. During my shopping I discovered there are helmets made for "round" heads, "intermediate oval" heads and "long oval" heads. The assault is for "intermediate oval" and fits my noggin well. I found the sizing info on their website to run a little small: their guide said my head measured for a size L but L was too tight and the XL fit much better.

Over the years my head has been called many things: fathead, blockhead, sh*thead, etc. Now I've found it is actually a "intermediate oval head"
