Recommendations for half-helmets
That's the only helmet I use I can't and haven't found one I like better.

I measured my head, looked up the sizing chart online, bought the AK1 online, received it, fits like a glove, if it didn't, that's what a return policy is for! A small company called Amazon seems to agree with this theory!

I have an AK-88 as well but I have a very round head. Love the helmet but tight on the sides and I have the XXL so can't go any bigger. For those with the AK-1 any idea if the shape is any better for round head vs oval head? Also anyone try the new AK-66?

I have the AK-1 which fits my head like a glove but I have an oval head. Based on the description of the AK-88 vs AK-1, the internal shape should be the same and may not help you fit any better.

Get a fullface helmet. Don't go modular as they don't do well in the chin protection areas. (That's 29% of where the energy will be absorbed.)
If your "friends" give you static for wearing a full face, grab a Louiseville Slugger and give their half helmeted heads a coupla good whacks on the rear edge at the base of their helmets. Watch that helmet slide up and give them zero protection, then, a couple more whacks on the back of their skulls to drive the point "home..."
Tell 'em you're doing them a favor as their lights go out.

I really like most of the Harley half helmets. Plus you can try them on before you commit to purchasing them at a dealership. When it comes to protecting your skull it isn't an area I would be looking to cut cost.
