RE: Helmet Question
I think you'll be happiest with a couple of helmets. I personally don;t care for fullface, however on cold days, it helps. I have a Shoei J-wing(3/4) for trips and cold weather, and on hot days I have a 1/2 helmet from Harley. The j-wing is just as quiet and windproof as a fullface IMO

RE: Helmet Question
I bought a full face Bell for days when its cold and a 1/2 for the hot days.
Bells are good helmets with pretty good prices. I think my full face was only about $140.00 Some of the Shoei are much more. More expensive better helmet? Hard to say but I am sure I will know in a few more posts.

And BTW, the HD helmet is actually a KBC according to the tag inside.

RE: Helmet Question
dont let dollars be the deciding factor in purchasing a helmet . I know 300-400 bucks sounds like alot of money but skull fractures , reconstructive surgery or a trip to the dentist to replace teeth will cost very much more. a good helmet is the cheapest insurance you can buy .

Exactly.
I have a Shoei RF-1000. I really like it a lot! Great ventilation, removable liners and the visors are very easy to switch out. I too recommend trying one on at a store and then finding a cheaper price. I like his website.

They have a sale price on line, but when you call them they will even give you a cheaper price.
Good luck with your decision.
