If it fits well you will like it for highway cruising More so when it rains. Just turn your head right and left to blow the water off the shield and open it one or 2 notches at stops not to fog up.
If you have a large noggin like me, you may want to keep your other helmet handy. I find on long rides (about the 4hr mark) even the half helms give me a headache from them pressing hard on my forehead. I just switch when it happens and switch back later.
Good luck.

I prefer to have the internal flip down sun shade. It can be used with a transition shield. Once you own one with the flip down internal shield you will never accept anything less. For fogging use a pin lock system, standard on all the top brands.

Went back to a FF about a year ago. I rode for years with a one of those carbon fiber beanie helmets and prescription goggles but if I went over about 60mph or so my helmet would start to fly above my head and my goggles would vibrate and blur my vision. If I put my windshield on then those problems were solved, but I really don't care to ride with a windshield and don't think it's a good look on a Night Train.
Going back to to a FF has been great. I have a white AGV with a drop down sun visor and I love it. High speed cruising is now a joy and the increased safety is a real plus.

Ever since the original Bell Star FF came out, it's been a FF for me. The past 8 years it's been a modular.
Currently it's a Kabuto Ibuki modular, it's too bad Western Powersports saw fit to stop importing them...

Have always had sport/sport touring bikes (and a V-Max) and full face. Got my Road King and a 1/2 helmet, boy did it feel weird ! Just couldn't get comfortable with it so back to the Arai RX-Q.

Must be cool feature, previously I have seen it on expensive helmets only, that's why I ordered the same model, But did not unpack it yet, enjoying new 3/4.

I have two. I also have a half. I do use the half in hot weather. But I should know better. I slammed the pavement and slid 25 yards and my face did hit the blacktop. A half would not have protected me.
