I would prefer that too, but half helmets seem to be harder to find, at least what I am looking for. All the helmets at the Harley store were made in China. Don't want anything from china protecting my noggin.

 

Nothing against him personally,just his taste in helmets.

 

I wear the ACC Carbon Fiber DOT approved helmet- it'll give you the look and profile you're looking for.The interior isn't exactly plush,but it's ok.I almost always wear a helmet and 80% of the time it's my ACC half helmet.

All that said if you really want to "protect your noggin" then it's probably stupid not to at least wear a 3/4 Helmet.I wish I could convince myself to wear my 3/4 most of the time.

Me wearing an ACC Helmet:

 

NXT from JP cycles. lightweight and don't take up much room in the tour pack.

 

The Series 100 is one to look at, but if your state wants one on the DOT approved list, and with a sewn in DOT certification, Vega XTS for about $55.00 is good. Slim profile...

I waswanting to knowthe same thing....any other recommendations?

 

Advance Carbon Composite. Perfect.

 

For the money, the Daytona. DOT approved and about $40.00

My thoughts are that, if you're going to spend the $$$$, buy a real helmet - 3/4 or full. I have 2 half lids and a Fulmer Modus full face. Wear the 1/2's most of the time. Probably 2 steps up from a do-rag (which I wear underneath to keep the helmet liner from getting skanky smelling), but better than no helmet. There are no helmet laws here, but I've always worn one - my choice.

 

I've tried on the Bell Drifter a few time, it just wasn't comfortable and have the Scorpion EXO-100 and neither are what I would call low profile. The EXO-100 is a nice helmet, comfortable for all day and the retractable visor is a helpful feature if like me you wear glasses and get caught in a light rain shower. I your main goal is low profile I think you need to look at other 1/2 helmets.
