The project has been axed.
Lid arrived last night and doesnt fit properly....pressure points make it uncomfortable as hell. And the muzzle thing is a pain in the *** and a piece of crap imo. I am dissapointed and back it goes.

Well that is no good. The Guy Fawkes idea looked great. I had been wondering about that helmet. Never seen one in a store yet. Problems like yours are why I just can not bring myself to order a helmet, or shoes for that matter, over the internet.
While your idea was cool, I think that helmet looks like princess Leah's bounty hunter disguise in return of the Jedi. Almost as silly as those metal face shields. But that is my humble opinion. You know what they say about opinions.....

Oldschool motocross...plenty of air on my face with the vents, no bugs and rocks, no dry eyes.
Ive got Scott quick detach on it now. Pair it with a decent 3/4 and you are in business (mine is a novelty 3/4)
Just throwing out an idea if you are still looking

I don't understand all the effort that goes into making half and 3/4 helments have the aesthetics of a full face helmet without the chin bar crash protection.
Why not just wear a fullface? You could get that Guy Fawkes decal put on the chinbar of any FF I would bet and it would break up the lines and look close to the same as the Rogue. I wear a FF with the shield removed in the summer for interstate riding. With sunglasses of course.

And if I do find a FF, I really dig the Vendetta concept.

I like it, but little to much Top Gun for me.

Yep. I do need a good FF. When I bought my bike I bought the HD...heavy and fishbowl, in turn only worn once. Lesson learned also, go visit shops and try them on before ordering from the internet. When I get time this summer, going to store hop and try a bunch on.
And if I do find a FF, I really dig the Vendetta concept.

Find a brand that fits your head well. For me it's HCJ. I wear a CL-16 right now but plan to buy a FG-17 in the future simply because they make different shell sizes for the actual sizes. That keeps the bobblehead look down a bit. I really like the way the RPHA10 fits and looks but I'm not one to spend $400 on a helmet.
For better or worse I look at that money as x amount of air cleaners, handlebars, exhausts, etc.
