Gosh, a helmet thread...
Currently wife and I both wear Schuberth modulars on our Harleys; light, excellent peripheral vision, quiet, good ventilation, easier with glasses and expensive.
We're worth it

http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...et-with-shield. Vents haven't been a benefit of ff for several years, quite the opposite.
Hopefully it remains personal preference, but one of the many reasons I won't wear ff is having to take off the glasses and stuff them through the hole, and vice versa every time. One of the many reasons, after trying one for a year. Personal preference freedom being the key. No offense intended.

You do realize there are other places to buy helmets, as well as motorcycles, then from Harley, right? But I agree having to take off/put on glasses is a major effort?

FF is the only way to go IMO. I'm way to pretty to have my face ground off during an accident while wearing a half or 3/4 helmet. I wear a Shoei Neotec. Very comfortable, extremely well made, awesome field of vision, best ventilated FF I've ever worn, and fits my head perfectly.

Currently have both a FF (Shoei RF1100) and a 3/4 (Shoei J-Cruise).
I rarely wear the FF as it feels too closed in. Much prefer the 3/4. I wear glasses, so the FF is a bit of a hassle. Tale off glasses, put on helmet, put on glasses. Reverse when taking helmet off.
The vents in the J-Cruise seems to work a bit better than the ones in my former HD 3/4 helmet.

I had 3 HJC FF helmets. Each one was better than the previous one.
I bought my wife a Shoie. It's a nicer helmet but the HJC is DOT and Snell approved. I mostly wear a Bell 500, now. Not as safe as a FF, but a lot better than nothing.
It's hard to find a bike shop with a good selection, and a knowledgeable fitter. I took my wife to a BMW dealer for her helmet.
