Default Helmet

What is the best 3/4 helmet for weight, drop down sun shade, fit for Harley speakers and mic? I have a Bell and although I like it, it isn't easy to get the mic clamp to stay in place (had to use much longer screws to clamp over the wide base).

HJC has a nice one that meets all of your criteria.

I have the HD version of the HJC 3/4 and it works well. Has a drop down shade and face shield.

You will probably have to open the speaker recesses for the headset speakers to fit comfortably. No problem. Just remove the lining and use an exacto knife or razor blade to remove enough of the white foam to allow the speaker to fit properly.

repeat:
I bought a Fulmer 755 for a whopping $72 - this is a GREAT brain bucket! It's everything you want in a 3/4 helmet if you want an integrated shield.
Check out the review on web bile world where they compare to the HJC IS-33
http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motor...vs-fulmer-755/

I bought one for the wife too, but she loves her half helmet. Me - I like listening to tunes over the Sena SMH /10 and the helmet is so quiet - what a pleasure! Web bike commented it was quieter than some of the modular helmets they tested.

You won't be disappointed with this choice .....http://www.fulmerhelmets.com/helmets...open-face/755/

Sounds like a HJC IS33 might foot bill.

This is the one I've got. Don't get the HD version unless you want to pay $40+ more.

I also have the HD 3/4 and like it very much now that I've modified it for the intercom speakers. Before I did that, it was unwearable.
