The interior is also hand stitched in diamond pattern using top grade suede like material. I definitely recommend checking them out. Revzilla.com has them and they have a great no questions asked return policy. I bought both to see which one I preferred but kept them both.

Purchased my 1/2 Helmet today Akoury AK-1




Going to try on some full Face Helmets this weekend and see what I like..


A lot of great suggestions and been going through a few good online stores as well... But will prob spend 300-500 on the Full Face so want to go try them on and make sure the fit and weight is perfect

Well if it was at Cycle Gear, then they would carry motorcycle helmets. But Cycle Gear doesn't normally carry the higher end stuff. And that would certainly apply to Arai helmets. Some are up near $1,000.00.

Just look at Arai's website, it says which are automotive and motorcycle helmets.

Dang! If I gotta spend a grand to get a decent motorcycle helmet from Arai, they can keep them.

This website has the smallest available DOT approved/compliant helmets and there's really no mushroom head look. Good quality with well made metal clasps instead of cheap plastic, and at about $99 (and sometimes free shipping) you really cant beat them.

Im way too good looking to risk my face being cheese-grated in an accident. I wear a FF year round, even if I'm in a state that doesn't require a helmet.

Um okay, but I'm not really sure why you're writing about your face or your preference in a condescending way. I'm merely writing to offer some info that the OP asked for. He asked for info on 1/2 and 3/4 helmets, and picks of members' helmets with their M8. So, I offered the info. There was no solicitation by me for anyone's opinion.

Welcome to the HD Forums... Seems to be the way people treat each other on here.

No worries. Forums are meant for people to share facts and opinions. My opinion is that a helmet is meant for protection, not looking cool. Or only to meet a helmet law requirement. That's all I was trying to convey in a humorous way. If someone else sharing their opinion bothers you, then this forum is definitely not for you.
