What brand/model of helmet do you wear?

[748eric]

We'll just picked up the new Nightster this week and am trying to determine what type of helmet to get. I live in Massachusetts so a helmet is a must have. This is my first Harley/cruiser so I am use to full face helmets. However the full face thing just doens't seem right for the nightster. I'm looking for some ideas. What brand/make and model do you wear? Pictures are appreciated. Thanks Eric

WHEN I wear one it's my Head Trip half helmet. Thinnest and lightest DOT helmet I could find.

I normally wear an AGV "Blade". It was recommended to me by a forum member
and I'm very happy with it. It's what I would call a 5/8 helmet as it is not
a true 3/4. The area around your lower jaw consists of a large, padded, but
unarmored cushion.

The helmet has very little vibration at speeds up to 85-90mph behind a standard
HD clip-on windshield. It does transmit more wind noise than an old, no-shield
HJC 3/4 I have. The face shield is extremely clear, literally completely transparent
and has no distortion that I can notice. Better than some $800 Simpson racing
helmets that I've owned.


A couple nice features are that the entire inner liner zips out for cleaning and
the chin strap has a quick release pull tab so you don't have to lace / unlace
it every time you take it on or off. DOT approved.

You might also want to look at the newest HJCs with smooth shields I have a
hunch that they might have less wind noise.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to add that it was @ $120.

I wear 70's and early 80's 3/4 shells....I find them at rummage sales. The more metal flake the better!

Scorpion Exo-700 great helmet.

Also just got a HD half helmet for $69 @ the dealer. Probably will only wear that one for riding less than 35mph to the store when I don't feel like walking.
