     Try Dennis Kirk, They're pretty good but the prob. w/mail order 
helmets, is that you can't try them on.  I ordered a helmet in the same 
brand/size/model as one I had tried on and it did fit differently.  Ask 
at a motorcycle shop, and look for the brands Shoei, Arai, and AGV.  
They all fit differently, but all make fantastic helmets.  DON'T buy 
from a motorcycle dealer, they'll soak you.  Try a shop that sells 
parts, and accessories, they're usually 15-20% cheaper than dealers.  
Also, your local roadracing club might be of some assistance, as well.  
Expect to pay upwards of $300 for anything worth your noggin. The 
pricier ones are more comfortable as well.  I've ridden at 100mph pluss 
with cheap and expensive helmets, and believe me, it's worth the dough 
to get one thats really cozy.  The cheap ones will save your life just 
as well(this I know from experiance),  but this is one area to treat 
yourself
