Mastery,
As much as I would like to say this process will not take too long, it really is necessary to spend the time to find a helmet that is comfortable on YOUR head. Your wife may find one that works well for her, but it may not work well for you. In that regard, it may be prudent to stick with solid color helmets, where you both can find helmets that are either the same color or a very close match, but may not be the same Mfr or helmet model.
Good luck!

Thanks for the link to the intercom as well. Definitely we'll be comparing those systems versus the HD one that came with the bike.
I appreciate everybody else's feedback as well. Keep them coming!

I just recently bought a HD 3/4 helmet, it's the basic one that they sell for $100. I went with that one since it was the only one they offered in XXXXL, and I still had to do a little modification to it to let it fit comfortably. It is DOT certified, and pretty light for a 3/4 helmet.
I have the same helmet in size M for my daughter and wife. That one is DOT and SNELL certified, and they both like it.

We have tried several but like the HJC AC 3 Carbon Fiber the best. It was the lightest and best fitting 3/4 helmet out there, imo. The HD Headset works great with it too. We got 2 shipped to us for $360.00 last year from Newenough.com:

This is one of the most comfortable helmets out there, I buy mine large, new it feels a bit tight but they break in to fit like they are custome made for you.
My wife wears one too, we're very happy, I'm getting ready to buy another mine is getting a bit loose after 14 years......lol
