GM54S by GMax is worth a look. My GMax 1/2 helmet is the most comfortable helmet I've ever owned. Sadly Doc says no more sun so I have to cover up now.I currently have a Fulmer modular that is pretty good, but this one has more venting and a drop down shaded visor built in.

did you decide on a helmet? I have a Hawk 3/4 with dual visors. it's light with great vision but doesn't block a lot of noise since it has minimal padding to keep weight down an help venting. I picked up a Crazy Al's from a member on here that didn't like the fit. I like it so I'm putting my bell drifter up for sale that I only used a few times.

I watched the review of the Bell Rogue
and thought about switching, but haven't yet. That Pitbull looks nice
. Would be really cool if it also had a tinted visor that flipped down.
I've got a monster sized melon and it's hard for me to find a helmet that doesn't rub me at the top of the forehead, right at the hairline.

Yeah, try it on first. I wanted one then went to a local shop to try it on and looked like a freaking mushroom. No good for me, but I got a large melon.
The only helmet I've found to not give me that look is the Vega Naked or other low profile brain buckets.
Was thinking of it since I am LIKELY going to need to wear glasses when driving after my next trip to the DMV to get my license renewed.
For now I am likely going to have to wear my FF with my glasses. It's and Icon Airframe so it's pretty light with good ventilation.

I agree that you need to try on a helmet before buying and that just because a helmet works for someone else it may not be right for you.
Greetings from SO-FLA,
I have the Bell Drifter Black Ops, and it is a Quasi-1/2-3/4 Helmet that is supremely comfortable. It also has a adjustment cradle inside of the padding that adjusts and snugs to your head, similar to some technology in bicycle helmets.
Bullet casing rivets accents, flat black with gloss accents, solid DOT construction.
I am very happy with it. Hope you find something that works for you.
Ride Safe and Ride Often. Rubber Side Down. Over and Out.

Yeah, the Revzilla video showed a clear visor, but the info page showed dark. What I was after was it would be nice if it had both, so you could switch when it gets dark out.

mine came with gray, I bought a clear and you could easily change them out as needed. But, I never have. In fact I rarely use it at all. Maybe in some buggy conditions or rain. Beyond that the Road King shield is all I need.
