I was looking at them at the dealer and could not find one that has the sun visor build in. Going to look at other brands' which i bet will be cheaper as well.

Love my H-D Hybrid. It is super light weight.

Both my wife and I wear HJC IS-2's. Retractable sun visor (Top Gun style) that I actually only use in the rain. Good helmets. You can get them lots of places. Good prices on LeatherUp.com even before the 10% discount everyone gets.

When H-D sold a retractable visor one, it was the HJC IS-2 with H-D logos (and a much higher price tag) put on it.

As I only really use the visor in the rain, wanted to give the amber a try. For $23, think it might be worth trying.

Does not have the sun visor but I have enjoyed my Bell Drifter for 6 years now. I am planning to replace it soon with the same helmet.

So far I like my Bell Pit Boss. The new feature inside the Bell helmets to ensure a tight fit really works well.
