In some states it's the law. In others it's not. However you look at it, though, a motorcycle helmet is good protection to have in the event you dump your Harley. If you are going to wear a helmet, though, you should do it in style. Harley Davidson makes helmets that protect you and tell the world your passion for Harley Davidson motorcycles.

Half Helmets

A half helmet might be the perfect way to protect yourself and still manage to enjoy the fall weather. Whether you want to consider the Hybrid Ultra-Light Classic Half Helmet ($200 Manufacturer's suggested retail price) or the Carbon Kevlar Half Helmet for 50 dollars more, or a different helmet, Harley's got you covered. In fact, they've got twenty different half helmets. There are plain ones and helmets with Harley graphics. You can get half helmets with detachable visors and some without. It's best to check out the Harley Davidson website to get an idea of what's available. They don't sell them online, though, you'll need to go into your local dealer to make your purchase.

3/4 Helmets

If you want a little more protection, but don't want to get a full helmet, then a 3/4 helmet might be the answer for you. For 2010 there are five from which to choose. Again, you can look them over at the Harley website, but you have to go in to a dealer to buy one. The prices range from about a hundred dollars for the stock 3/4 helmet to $350 for the Men's Carbon Kevlar® Ultra Jet 3/4 Half Helmet. That one has a face shield that converts to a visor. You can get a 3/4 helmet with retractable sun shield, too. So, there are quite a few options.

Full Face

If you prefer the full face, Harley has seven models from which you can choose. For warmer climates you might want a modular helmet. Modular helmets are assembled using several independent pieces and allow for cooling channels where air can flow. Harley offers three of those. Full face (one piece) helmets are also available. You can expect to pay between $150 (Men's Classic Full Face Helmet) and $475 (FXRG Full Face Helmet). The second one uses Kevlar to give the maximum protection with minimum weight. Again, you can get an idea of what the helmets look like online, but you'll need to go into buy one.

Harley Davidson offers a wide range of helmets to match up with varied tastes and needs. Their helmets provide all-around protection and comply with Department of Transportation regulations. Whether you want a helmet just to meet your state's laws or are looking for protection for your own piece of mind, a Harley Davidson helmet can provide that and do it in classic Harley style. You ride the machine, shouldn't you wear the helmet, too?
