Hey Ya'll I'm picking up my new EGC later this week and its gonna be hot soon which helmet do I get. Keep in mind I don't have the ultra so gotta hear the radio and the bike is that new sunglo red color.

Thanks to those in advance for your imput.

I have the sunglo two tone in the FLHRC. My helmets are black, but just picked up an HD half in Black Platinum... very comfortable and not bad in heat. The old saw will be do you want protection or looks. I have a full face for cold and nights, and 3/4 with a mic so I can talk to my wife when she rides with me. Mostly I use the HD 1/2.
I put bub7 TD with the Crossover on my bike and they are great pipes... great sound, not too loud but you can get them barking if you like. I like to tour, so the rumble is just right. Good luck with the bike! Ride safe.

I have the HD full face modular made by KBC, good visual field but it's somewhat noisy.
Look for a full face or modular helmet that is quieter. DOT approved.
You don't want to be riding a half helmet on the highway. Big bugs and road debris is out to get you....

When I bought mine, the dealer threw in some cash off on helmets.
We went with some modular full face HJC helmets. There great in the cold and rain.
Then we went out and bought 1/2 helmets for the nice weather.

HD 3/4 I think it's KBC and a bit different than the old tourlite they used to sell.

RE: helmet choice need advise
Most any DOT/SNELL approved helment will be the best, half helment for me personally, wife has a 1/2 helment with zip-on ear flaps.
As for pipes my choice are SuperTrapp SEs - lower/deeper tone only about 3db louder than stock, can still hear radio (good) wife (?) - interchangeable tips can change look to suit your personality.
Just my .02
