Arai helmets
I'm looking to get a new helmet. I would like to get the corsair V, but I don't know if it would be a good choice for cruisers, since it is mainly used by sportbike riders. Would it be a mistake to get this model for cruising?

Arai probably has a recommendation/helmet designed for an upright/cruising/sport touring style. If it fits and it is a good helmet, get it!
I wear a Shoei RF1200 which is technically more of a sportbike helmet but works great sitting upright. I also use a windshield as well.

The Signet Q full face by Arai is designed for the U.S. long oval melon and is for touring and cafe style. (I can see the speedo and track the road on my Slim wearing mine.)
Few companies, if any, make a better helmet than Arai, both in durability and design. It really is a work of art.
Like you though, I wish they had paint schemes that were a little more cafe racer or cruiser style. And didn't have the huge Arai logo all over them.
Great lids though when it comes to doing their job.

Agreed, Arai makes very good helmets. If I'm not mistaken, the chin guard is noticeably closer to the mouth than the Shoei. I also prefer the Shoei faceshield mechanism due to the quick shield swap-out. Edit: However Arai's shield system looks more integrated into the helmet vs. seeing the mechanical aspect.
