Looking to purchase 2 helmets this weekend.. as of today I am helmetless.


Would love to see what you wear... Preferably helmets on . but know a lot of people aren't up for that .


so just a good shot of your helmet or helmets with your Milwaukee 8 would be Awesome !!




I am leaning towards a 1/2 helmet and a 3/4 helmet. DOT approved.. not novelty




THANKS IN ADVANCE !!

 

I'd take a look at the bell bullitt it's a full face with out the claustrophobic feel of a normal Ff helmet

 

Also.. looking for low profile for both.. No Mushroom head on the 1/2 .. guess I'm just curious if one brand is better than others such as Crazy Al's or biker helmets or Akoury or something like that




as for the 3/4 Just don't want to look like a space Alien or the Great Kazoo as some have said.

Have tons of helmets. I will post pics later but for now I like riding with the Biltwell Gringo S in matte black. It's the FF features without the power rangers look. Similar design to the Bell Bullit but less expensive. The Bell version has small ports on top for airflow but you can't close them. In the rain you will get some of that water in you.

when it's really hot I have a matte black 3/4 with shield but 80% of the time it's the Gringo S for me..

 

Really? When I'm shopping helmets 'looks' is down the list of priorities a bit. If it doesn't fit well I'm not going to wear it so it doesn't matter what it looks like. If its too heavy I'm not going to wear it very long so it doesn't matter what it looks like.

After that I'm looking at safety certifications like DOT etc. Then things like field of view and eye protection options and then chin strap comfort and operation.

After that I'll think about how it looks.

I know you asked for pics so I apologize.... just felt like throwing my 2 cents in

 

 

HD modular ,HJC really the same. Wife wears same thing . What I like is it does not reduce field of vision and it you want flip it up.

 

How do you like the simpson roadrash I've heard mixed reviews

 

Looks are at the top because I'm looking for something that looks good.


Of course DOT + is a requirement as well as fit.. but Fit I will have to determine on my own.. no need to ask someone how something fits on them.


My Plan is to find a bunch of helmets I like and then order them from a site or two that allows returns.. I will probably order 5 or 6 helmets and keep the 2 that fit best ... I will judge certain things such as wait before even placing the order.


Local Harley dealer only has like 8 or 9 helmets in stock and most were far too big.. so going the online route.. just want to see what people were wearing.


Wish there was somewhere I could drive to to try on a bunch of different helmets.. but no such luck around me.. possibly Jacksonville , FL which is only 4 hour drive.. I could take a weekend trip there if I knew there were some places that had a good selection.


Anyways thanks to the few pic post so far..


Looking forward to more

 

I run an Akoury AK-1. Smallest DOT approved helmet I've found. Also, the ratchet chin strap system is pretty ingenious. On longer trips I switch over to my full or 3/4 helmet.
