I usually don't wear a FF for riding, but I am seriously thinking about buying one shortly. I have a Pyrotect helmet that is blown and wired for desert racing, and I'm thinking about buying a normal Pyrotect for the Harley. Decently priced and super comfortable. Their carbon fiber helmet is on sale right now for a little over 600 bucks.

98.5% of the time i wear a half helmet. i personally laugh at people who are on cruisers with a windshield who wear a full face but to each his own i guess

Wear a H-D modular with the retractable sun shield for cold/wet weather and a 3/4 helmet the rest of the time. Getting H-Ds 3/4 with the retractable sun shield as of now, that way I wont have to change glasses!

Full Face 100% of the time. Don't need anybody knowin' who I am. Plus added bonus of one saving my life in a crash this summer. 30-40 deg winter days, and 95-110 deg summer days. Good FF will actually keep you cooler in the summer than a skid lid.

I like a full face but find I have to look down to low to see the speedo on the tank. Went to a 3/4 w/face shield for distance and 1/2 for the quick around town runs.
