RE: Modular helmets????
On really hot days I flip mine up and leave it open for awhile. I have a weenie-shield too though, so I don't get the wind blast catching the shield and jerking my head back...unless it is a very strong gust of wind. I carry a camel-back to drink from on long trips and it is nice to be able to just flip it open and drink. Mine isn't a very good one and the air flow could be better. I have the H-D Stealth modular on my wish list. Anyone have one of those? If so...what is your opinion? Is it worth $275?

Anyway, I'm not normally bit on full face helmets. I prefer to ride with a half helmet. But, I also don't have a windshield. So, for riding in the rain, the full-face modular has been awesome. I think it's been worth the $275.

I also too have the Harley Stealth Modular helmet (made by KBC) and love it!!! I love the fact that I can lift the shield to talk, smoke, drink, and get a cool off (it's hot out there!!) I think it's worth the $275...I was going to go with the FXRG, but loved the style of the modular.....I have no complaints to size to weight!!!
I went with the Legendary Style!!! Around town, I flip it up and it locks..and I do this occasionally for some breeze! It will really be great when it cools off outside...

My 06 Road King is the first bike I've owned with a shield. I wear a full face helmet and find myself riding with the visor up unless it is cold. No problem at 80+ with the shield.

I use the Vega on my Ultra, I can ride with the chinbar up ( visor closed) and no problems, drink, smoke etc at 80+ but then I'm on a UC...I do have a 8" fastair windshield on it now and still, no problems....
