Helmet finish....flat or gloss??
Dang!....I get hung up on some of the silliest things sometimes.[
] Shoping for a new "lid"....going with the Vega XTS. Now I can not decide if I go with flat black(rubber) or glossy?
Any good reason other than looks I should consider?
What was your preference??

I agree. My '06 Ultra is gloss vivid black therefore my helmet is also.

I agree but as to original post I go by the rule of: bike has flat paint = flat paint helmet, glossy paint = glossy helmet.
Just my personal preference.

Flat looks bad pretty quick.
Gloss cleans up nicer.
I like flat black, just take care of it.

GO WITH WHITE. EASIER TO SEE, COOLER AND EASIER TO KEEP CLEAN. YOU HAVE TO REPLACE HELMETS EVERY 5 YEARS ANYWAY. DOESNT MAKE SENSE TO PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO THEM. IF YOU DROP A NEW HELMET FROM WAIST HIGH YOU MUST REPLACE IT BECAUSE IT WILL HAVE LOST ITS PROTECTING ABILITY THEN. IF YOU DONT DROP IT ITS GOOD TO GO FOR 5 YEARS. AFTER THAT KAPUT.
