I have use the HJC IS 33 and also the Harley HJC equivalent. They tend to resonate the exhaust inside the helmet a lot and not buffer out too much wind noise. I remember back in my sport bike days that the Shoei helmets were wonderful for noise. So does anyone have any experience with the Shoei j cruise? If not can you recommend a helmet that might cut down on some noise.

 

A friend of mine has a J cruise and really rates it.

I'm an Arai fan myself.
Make sure you wear ear plugs as well, that gets rid of all the wind roar, and the treble component of the exhaust, making your bike sound better, as well as saving your hearing.

 

Do you just want 3/4 of your head protected?
Full Face for me!!!

 

O geez, here we go the ol helmet debate,,,, I use Mobile 1 syn, by the way

 

I am not crazy about always having the shield so i use the Shoei RJ Platinum, I have a snap on shield for rain. It’s the quietest helmet I have ever owned.

 

Your head, your helmet - this is a nunya...

TO answer the OP, When I rode 3/4, I used an HD Astro something.. May have been called an Astro Jet. Quiet and comfortable. And a good unit..

 

Hey Drew; No dog in the fight here but I love this shop... Have you been to Motorcycle Center on Rt18 North in East Brunswick? They have a very good selection of helmets and a terrific size inventory. Its a HD / Squid place but these guys know there stuff. Franco the main mechanic is the old lead from Hannums. They also do great work.. But to answer your question, they dont carry junk but I have purchased a Snell/Dot FF for 139.00 here.. They have MANY 3/4s. Mike who is the accessories guy REALLY knows his shi* as does everyone else there..

 

I have the same 3/4 helmet and agree it is very quiet and comfortable. Also have a Bell Custom 500 that is also very quiet just hot as comfortable as the Shoei RJ Platinum.

 

I have a bunch of helmets, the HJC IS33 being my go to for many reasons. Must be a fitment issue as mine is fine, no complaints. Maybe I'm just not that picky??

 

I use the Shoei J-Cruise. Was a very snug fit and it took a while to break in, but now very comfrotable and VERY quite. Have a Sena S-10 Head set in it that I listen to my tunes on. Have held phone conversations on it and the caller did not even know I was on the bike. Not cheap but good quality.
