Default Which Helmet?

Which helmet do you suggest me to buy for my Sportster 883R?
I thought about a DAVIDA Jet Style, Black and Silver, what do you think about it?

Does Harley Davidson sell helmets? Post pictures of your helmets, show me something cool and give me your ideas!!

This is what I have. Plan on getting a half next summer. Yes harley sells helmets but you can get more for your buck elsewhere.

Consider Bell Helmets too: www.bellpowersport.com/main.html H-D overprices their helmets which are just re-badged HJC or KBC helmets.

You don't buy a helmet "for" an 883, you buy it for your head. Get whatever type and cost you think your head is worth.

A little pricey, but worth it:
