Default Helmets

I'm having a hard time finding a helmet that's full face and goes well with my harley. Everything and I mean everything I swear I've looked at hundreds, seems to be geared toward sport. I just want a good full face. What do you wear and how do you like it?

We wear 3/4 with a full face shield and drop down shades. We love them, since the design keeps our heads from bouncing around in strong winds. It's like a HJC IS-33.

I do not believe in full face helmets. I also choose to wear a helmet only at night and it must have the a clear slider lens and preferably the half shell.

I have a Scorpion 900 Exo Transformer modular. Pretty nice. It can be converted to a 3/4 open very easily.

I also have a Bell Evo modular. Not happy with that. WAY too noisy and the exterior trim is coming apart after only a few months.

I use a plain black HJC full face with a smoke tinted shield when riding on the gravel and debris infested interstates around here. Never gave much thought to how it went with the Harley. It is comfortable and doesn't have a garish graphic design so I like it. If I were going to buy another full face, I'd try on the Biltwell Gringo because I like the retro look of it

Does not exist, IMHO. Oil and water.

A full face will protect you better, but it will NEVER look right on a Harley. Function and safety over style??? That is the question.

<--- I have a full face, but will only wear it if I know that I will be riding in the rain, or temps below 40*. Very seldom.

If you are concerned with safety... Then wear it, and heck with what other people think.
