Default HD half helmet

Been looking around for good half helmet and it seems like Harley half helmet provides best feeling and looks? I checked out online on Fulmer, Shoei, Bell, etc and didn't find anything that is appealing. Wondering if anyone have complains with the HD half helmet? Noise does not bother me as I am Deaf.

ynow, harley doesne actually make that helmet, it is an HJC or something.

shop around in person. helmet fit is something you need to determine by putting the thing on your head, not by looking at the picture.

find the one that fits you best. you can always put an hd sticker on it if that is important to you.

Harley contracts with various helmet manufacturers for the helmets. I think the vast majority of their helmets are either HJC or KBC right now. They are good, but not great, helmets in terms of weight, ventilation, etc. Generally the same helmet, but without the HD graphics, is always available at a variety of retailers (on-line and brick) for far less money. It just depends on whether the extra dough for the HD graphics are worth it to you or not.

I just bought the G-MAX GM 55 1/2 helmet and really like it.
