I have this helmet and love it: http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...ld-half-helmet

It has a visor that covers the eyes and some of your nose and a nice zip-out ear warmer/pad for colder days. It has a BRILLIANT ratchet type system that secures it to your head so you get almost no lift. It also doesn't give you the dreaded 'mushroom head' look! Bell makes this helmet for HD....they also make their own but they no longer make it although you may find one on Amazon or Ebay. I have this and a full face modular and wear this one pretty much all the time. HIGHLY recommend taking a look at one.

Bell Pit Boss. Also has an adjustable head band inside, similar to a hard hat. If you don't like it, remove it. I got mine at J&P in Daytona while on vacation.

Zox or Gmax. I like the Zox better. The Bell Pit Boss is a nice helmet unless you have a big head like my size 8 melon. I don't know how close to Daytona you are but J&P always has a large selection of all three. Good luck

Bell Pit Boss. That's the one that I linked above....only the HD version which is the same exact thing. I'd go that rout: http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/b...s-helmet-solid

Only reason I went with the HD version is that it was only 15$ more on sale at my dealership and I could try it on over there.

How about a Schuberth C3 Pro? Yes, it's a modular, but there's no better quality helmet on the market, and I believe both Revzilla and Motorcycle Superstore have them on sale now.

I have this GMAX helmet (mine has more of a flame pattern). Size MED. I think it's been worn once as I went to a Licks NOVDOT instead that fit better.

If you think it will fit and you'd like it, shoot me a message and I'll send it to you.

Lots out there at my dealers. I have an HJC and a Bell. HJC has a button on top while the bell is deployed by a small plastic protrusion on the side of the lens. I put clear lens on both as I use this lens for 1) rain and 2) night riding when not wearing sunglasses.
