Looks good! I was going to get a Bell Custom 500 but decided on a Rockhard American Classic. Should be here Friday. Good luck with your Biltwell. Hope it stays put. Geezer

Funny how helmets have gone full-circle...these are same as ones I wore back in the 70's. Nice looking buckets gents!

Will those goggles fit comfortably over regular glasses?

Very easily. They are much bigger than my other goggles. They are like ski of moto X goggles.

So far I think it is a great helmet that fits well. No buffeting issues and it cuts out a ton of noise. The biltwell goggles fit good too. The one thing im not digging is the loss of perifrial vision especially looking over my shoulder to change lanes. Over all a good choice for me. Going to get a fuggly bubble shield if the rainy season ever gets here!
