Take a look at the Bell range of helmets....

Thats nice. I think they have rougthly the right shape. When i scratch built mine i didn't get the distinctive rise at the back (well not enough anyway)
The Bell helmet i used was quite accurate, only slight modification needed. The key areas as you mentioned are a near vertical back (in profile) higher at the back and near vertical at the front..
i think the one pictured is the newer version of the one i used, it need less work as my version had a ridge running around the back which had to be removed...
