Default Full face helmet

Looking for a full face helmet that looks great for a cruiser and not a speed bike. IS there any out there? I know there is the Bell Bullitt which looks great but it is also $400 bills. I dont want to spend that much.

Let's see those pics and recommendations!

If you want something a bit different take a look at the Shark Vancore. I have a Shark Raw and love it.

I wear a Lazer and a bell Evo modular ff but I also wear a Dainese sport bike jacket with full armor so I probably wouldn't be the one to ask what looks the best on a cruiser.

I think the Shoei Qwest is designed for a more upright riding position.

I have a Harley modular which is just a re-labeled HJC with Harley graphics. I like it, light and comfortable.

Get the helmet that fits best. For me it's a Shoei Quest.

If you go with a quality $400+ helmet you'll get comfort and light weight, which is key. I had a cheap Scorpion and 7zero7 from Cycle Gear that I hated. Swore off FF helmets for years. Then a kid at my local Cycle Gear talked me into a Shoei 1100RF. He even gave me a discount to close the deal. Wore it around the house and realized the L was too loose so went back and got a medium. Once it broke in I fell in love. Light weight is what's going to make or break it... Don't skimp. You won't be happy.

You know...I tried on a HD modular the other day and it was pretty comfy...not badly priced either ($200).

Always thought one of those Rockhard Motorhead helmets (lol) would look great with a cruiser but they don't sell them anymore.
