+1 for the AK-88. Very comfortable and the quick release strap is the best out there. My $.02

One that fits your head. Took me a lot of tries to find that.
The one the harley dealer gave me when I bought the king....and my wife claimed... was like 70ish I think

I have the Harley Pioneer (Bell Pit Boss) and like it. Removable neck roll helps in the cold and it's somewhat adjustable.

I bought a Speed and Strength brand half helmet from the Yamaha dealership just down the road. It works well and isn't too bad on the mushroom head effect for a DOT.

Wife and I bought from leatherup.com a few years ago. First ones didn't fit right. No argument easy as pie returns and exchanges. Fast shipping and cheap too. Not sure about their other stuff but for helmets it was a good place.

Akoury has my vote. Get a size bigger than you would normally wear. The first one I bought was an XL and that was a little tight, but it works good for every girl that's been on the back of the bike.

Bell Pit Boss. $130 with Speed Dial adjustable fit system, Internal Sun Shade and Removable neck curtain. Not super light but stays put in the wind.

Very comfortable and affordable. The red screamimg skulls helmet is a pretty good match for my Bike

+2 love mine I measured carefully and was right in between a medium and a large. Went with their recommendation and got the medium. Very comfortable, low profile and DOT. Attached a couple of really bad cell phone pics, Light was bad and mirror was dirty. Model was ugly. Silver and black is a 7 year old Daytona, pretty low profile Gopro mount on it. Flat black is Akoury AK-88. Much more comfortable and a lower profile. Both are DOT. Got it in a 4 days from Blackbeardsgear.com.
