I have this one. Same model, I believe, in white. My gal bought it for me when we bought my bike. Very good helmet. No wind noise that I have found. Tinted sunshield is a huge plus when you hit a road with gravel, or ride into the sun like I do here in L.A. often.

One of the Harley badges fell off like a month into wearing it, but didn't effect anything. Oakland HD got me a new one for free with some great customer service.

Had I known of the HJC option at the time, I would have bought that.

My wife really loves hers. I was buying other stuff and tossed the helmet in the pile. I ended up getting it for about 90. My wife only uses the visor when its drizzling or we are headed in to sun on the horizon.

While I don't have this helmet, I do have a HD half helmet. Be prepared for the dreaded "Shroom Head" as the insulation is very thick, and I assume will be even more because of the retractable visor...just sayin'

Ya I kinda like the white. Cooler in summer and cagers can see it - maybe mistake me for a cop.

I have one I got as a gift, but didn't like. Still in the box and never worn (aside from when I tried it on). In California, all helmet sales are final, so I can't return/exchange it.

PM me if you're interested in it, size medium.
