Modular, switching to the shoei neotec if I can ever save enough dough. I wear one all the time, and don't care what others think, my head.

I have been looking for a decent full face helmet but haven't found one yet that I like. Around town I where my skid lid and to and from work I where a half helmet with built in visor but since i am on the highway, I wanted to get a FF helmet.

That's all I own. One is a shoei rf 1100 and the other is an arai corsair. If you're looking for a good ff hit the shops and just try a bunch of them on. Each manufacturer has a slightly different fit. Just go with whatever fits right to you.

For safety I would but I can't stand the closed in feeling of it. Maybe if I tried a really high quality FF it would be different. I have about a 250$ HJC and the sound in there while manageable blocks out the sound of the pipes.

+1 on the shoei RF1100 .
I mostly use it in the colder and wet days.
Summer I use a shoei half helmet.

When I bought my bike my dealer gave me a 600$ store credit to buy gear (basically the only reason I even own any HD Motorcloths)

I got a Jacket, Brakelight boots, couple pairs of gloves, and a HD Modular FF Helmet:

I really like the hat though I admit my sampling of helmets is pretty small.. Most days I wear a cheap Fuel Half Helmet but when its cold enough a bandana wont cut the frost bite or in heavy rain I opt for the HD FF Helmet...

Seems fairly light to me... comfy and quiet. The flip up face makes taking it on/off very easy.

Got a Bell 500 and maybe a Drifter on my wishlist tho. Then I think my Hat collection will be pretty complete for abit.

I do, I wear a Shoei. Can't wear a half helmet in England so when I got here I decided to try a full face. I like it enough that I'll probably stick with it when I get back to the States.

Arai Quantum 2 FF. I have a half helmet. I've worn the HH a couple of times when I first got it but the only thing it is used for now is collecting dust. *shrug* Arai makes a good helmet. Plenty of ventilation for the 90+ degree days and keeps my head warm enough when it is 20 degrees.
