You might take a look at the Nolan N44, lots of options for either full face, open face, full screen, sunscreen etc. etc. The full face shield is very 'nice' in the rain.. In my signature picture I'm wearing the Nolan N43E (discontinued) which is supposedly a bit larger..
Good luck..

A friend of mine just bought a Shoei J-Cruise Helmet in mat black. Looks good on her!

I have the Shoei RJ and I can wear it all day long, very comfortable. The Harley headset fits perfect in the helmet. I could give a rats *** how it looks to others riders.

I own a Bell 500, Biltwell Bonanza, and Daytona Cruiser 3/4. The Daytona is by far less "mushroom heady" than the others. The other two are a little better quality, but I wear the Daytona 99% of the time.

The 500 is a classic and has a very low profile for a 3/4. Problem is that there is no ventilation and the liner is hot and not removable.

I went from a 500 to a RJ Platinum. It is bigger (but I don't think too big) but addresses the 500's short comings. Light, well ventilated, liner comes out for cleaning. Great option if you are looking for 3/4.

For modular I like the Schuberth C3 Pro (con:$$$$)
