Default Bell Rogue Helmet On Order.

The reviews were mixed. Common complaint is looks and price. If it means I don't have to wimpshield without a suffication of full face...I am game to try it.
My concerns are comfort, noise reduction and face protection on the busy highways here.

So I ordered one.



The muzzle kind of looks weird, but at least one can airbrush it with something like this...



And if I don't like it...should be easy enough to eBay (everyone is on back order for matte black) and get a traditional 3/4 instead.

Thought I saw a thread on this before...I think the guy returned it. Wasn't happy with it.

I think it looks kinda cool.

EDIT: Yep...here's the post: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/11036085-post29.html

I am really considering this for a cold weather helmet. I think this is a good compromise to a full face. I think they look pretty cool

Could look cool with your bike's theme, if you care about that type of thing. If it works for you, that's all that matters.

I tried one on at the local HD dealership.
The moment i put the helmet on, i noticed a dull pain on both sides of my head, about 2 inches back of my temples. Couldn't wait to get it off. It's a shame cause i didn't even get a chance to put on the "strap on"

Exact same issue i had. Pinched the crown of my head... maybe i have a stupid head.

Anyways Jose the face mask part can be adjusted to fit farther or closer to your face. So thats a plus. The mounting of it seems pretty cool it just clips on magnetically almost and you have to slide it off to get it off.
I definitely dont think it will protect your face much though if you go down... but then again i dont think thats what its for.
