I have a white GMax 65 with the retractable sun shade I will sell you. Only worn about twice.

I have both a Scorpion and an HD branded helmet with drop down shields.
The HD helmet is a 3/4 and the drop down shield works flawlessly. The full coverage, Scorpion EXO T1200 drop down shield mechanism broke on the first time I used it. Sent it back for repair and it broke almost immediately. Scorpion does not get 5 stars from me.

Yes evidently with the responses below.

Anyone know if HD's has a 100% UVA and 100% UVB and possible polarized? Maybe with the polarized it is asking too much. ??

I am only abt 4 - 4.5 hrs south of Daytona. No worries. Nice ride.

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

I appreciate that a LOT. I would not accept it without paying you whatever you think a fair price would be.

There are many great responses here so I will be checking into all this stuff. I am bouncing in and out of town a lot over the next 30 days so I am not sure when I can end this hunt.

THANK YOU again mate!!

HJC (which also makes the Harley brand helmet) has a full, 3/4, and 1/2 helmet that has the retractable visor. I have a 3/4 and the operating mechanism is on the top of the helmet. Very easy to operate with gloves. Just be aware that the addition feature of these helmets gives them a bigger profile.

I've had the Scorpion half helmet for a few years.

It's a very practical helmet and unless I'm in a downpour I can drop the shield through the rain.

The only issue that I have with the helmet is that it's a little too big for me but that's my fault. Either the helmet stretched since I bought it or my head has shrunken.

We both wear Bell Pit Boss helmets. The shield works like you want and is easy to replace when scratched or you want a different tint. It has a zip out padded skirt for cooler summer riding that's really nice, too.
