Open Face Helmet Purchase

I've been on an ongoing search for the perfect helmet. I have novelty 1/2 helmets, DOT half helmets, and Shoei Modular Helmets. So far my favorite headgear is still my black bandana. I've been looking at the 3/4 or open face non-DOT helmets for their very low profile and vintage look. I've looked at the Fulmer, JP, Davida, Buco, Bell, and Biltwell. Today I finally bought one. I settled on a 30+ year old Buco in gunmetal; never used, still in the box, opened only for interior refurbishing! Professionally relined including new head ring, top pad, and earpieces. I got it from: http://www.justifieddefiance.com
As usual, looking for something a little different. I hope this helmet works out. At least it has a little history to it.
Oh ya, I bought this vintage NOS bubble shield and kick a$$ Bobster Fuel goggles too. I also added a pick of the risers I'll use with my custom ape install. Hope you'll enjoy my finds and I'll post more pics and review when they come in.

I bought the smoked bubble shield of JD at the smokeout and it's great. Just like having a windshield.

Are those over the helmet goggles? That is what I have been having a hard time finding. Goggles that go over the helmet but are not bigger over the face than a diving mask!
