RF1200 came in today, popped the dark smoke shield and pin lock insert on and now ready to rack up some miles. Thanks for everyones input and opinions! I will say this is my first experience with pin lock, just trying the helmet on in the kitchen fogged up the shield very badly, put the pin lock insert on and zero fog after, even breathing very heavy to try to make it fog and still nothing. So yeah...pin lock does work!

 

I have several helmets 1/2 , 3/4 and 1 FF from Wally World. I tried it on in one day in the store and was surprised how well it fit my narrow head.
I think it was $79 but didn't buy because I was not crazy about buying a Chinese helmet.

Later, while looking online at the same helmet and seeing the online price @ around $40 I thought WTH and purchased it with free delivery to the store for same helmet on the shelf for $79.
Believe it or not I like it because it fits my head perfectly.

I may eventually get an Arai helmet for my narrow head but for the money this will do in the meantime.

 

Me too...great helmet but too hot in summer.

 

 

 

Ah, an actual "brain bucket".

 

I have a Simpson Street Bandit, it is comfortable but a bit on the noisy side. The enlarged eye port is great, however - excellent visibility, not too great airflow.

My new favorite is my Shoei Neotec 2. Big Charlie Brown head with a Sena 10S BT setup and I really like the modular style and quick release buckle. Airflow also not fantastic but the pinlock feature is nice. Super comfortable, not as quiet as my Shoei GT Air was but I still prefer this one over the GT Air. Expensive but good stuff always is.

 

 

I am currently wearing a LS2 Citation it is comfy, has drop down sun visor and ECE rating. My former one was a HJC CL-17 I wore it out in 2 years but that was also 35,000 miles.

 

I've had Arai before and top of the line in my opinion. Using a Biltwell lane splitter now and I like it alot, not as quiet as the Arai but pretty good.
