Love these guys helmets. Look for the ones made for touring and/or their new modular. Helmet is lightweight, 3.5 pounds for the one I have, and I enjoy the looks. I use the Kamui and think they are great. Made in Japan and feels like better quality than most Chinese helmets.
I just picked up a Shoei RF-1200 and so far am liking it. A little snug in the cheek area, but that's to be expected of a new helmet. Also, I can't tell if it makes my head hotter than my previous helmet , but I've only ridden with it three times now so I'll give it a little more time. I picked mine up used off CL for $200 with an extra shield and pinlock and when I asked the guy why he was selling he said he recently moved from riding a sport bike to a Harley and decided to go 3/4 helmet. I said yeah I ride a Harley to and for me it's about safety and not the particular bike.
