THANKS FOR ALL THE POSTS! I really don't care what others think about the way I look on my bike but I do want it to fit the style of my ride. That said, being safe and keeping my grape intact is more important. I agree with Kowan - let them see me in all my glory when the helmet comes off. I also want the full face with a cool looking gold or silver screen so I can give those cagers at the light the "stare" that keeps them wondering ha ha. Anyone heard much about the Fulmer helmets

I got an HD full face that I bought at the dealer. I have to try it on to make sure it fits so I nixed the online purchase. Great helmet that I wear year-round like today when it's 40 or in the summer when it's 95. Open and close ventilators, easy to go back and forth between shaded shield and clear, and you can crack open the face shield to provide additional ventilation.

I wrecked my Fat Bob this past february doing about 60 and wearing a 3/4 with face shield. The face shield cracked about halfway down but the only damage to my face was a scratch on the bridge of my nose. I decided with my new bike to move up to a modular HD branded helmet that is a HJC. I really like it so far. It has the built in sun shade feature which works really well and for the winter temperatures it's a lot warmer. As far as wind noise it whistles a little bit if I have the chin vent closed but I usually wear ear buds so that doesn't bother me. I'll probably wear it until it gets really hot then I may transition to my half helmet. Of course I shudder to think what my face might look like now if I had been wearing the half helmet when I wrecked. As far as the look of the helmet goes I don't really care if it goes with the bike or not. Getting the helmet in flat black was as far as I was willing to care about that.

I absolutely concur! The Arai full face is the most comfortable that I have worn, and I've been wearing helmets since the 60's.

This see the only brand full face i will wear as I have worn numerous other brands and this is the only one I can wear for a 12 hour day and feel fine. Made in Japan, oh well. As far as I am concerned if i cam going t o wear a modular I might as well wear a 3/4 or half.

I have a sheoi 1100 it is a great helmet. I got mine in matte black. I had a Harley full face before the Shoei has much less noise and great ventilation. I think mine fits my bike just fine both the sporty and now the deluxe.

I just pick up a 2003 Fatboy and the guy threw in an Oneil fullface with integrated Bluetooth. It is awsome. Has a built in FM transmitter, and the bluetooth pairing with my iPhone is easy. I can stream tunes to the helment from the iPhone and with one punch of a button answer the phone if it rings. And it auto back to music when the phone hangs up. Looking to put the bluetooth devise on my half helmet. Amazon VCAN BLINC m2, sold as a separtae add on. I have seen the integrated Bluetooth Oneil for as low as $199. The add on alone if $99 (*M1) or $129 (M2). M2 has added FM.
