Try a Shoei Quest or, if you want a modular helmet, the Shoei Neotec.

My Bike-



Going to get this Helmet. Safety and goes well with the bike. Take the shield off and use shades or clear.

[[ I'm having a hard time finding a helmet that's full face and goes well with my harley ]]

I'd worry less about how a full-face helment "goes well with the Harley", and more about how it goes with my head.

Try an Arai or a Shoei.
They go pretty well with everything...

I would check out the new Bell Bullit or Biltwell Gringo, the old school styling suits the Harley's quite well in my opinion...

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.
