Full faced is the way to go. They make transitional shields now too that get darker and lighter depending on the conditions. The vision and safety is unmatched. Plus you can hear the bike and not just wind. 100 mph with clear vision, hearing and safety is a good thing. Skull caps are for looks.

 

....you losers still debating on this thread?? Get over it.....

 

Disagree on the last sentence. "Styles" change. Skull caps look funny, especially on big guys.

 

I got a full face despite what some have told me. Screw that. I want to be safe. Plus my helmet is dope looking, has an internal pull down shaded lens for bright days, and an anitfog pinlock insert. Pricey but ITS MY HEAD.

correction:
a Real harley owner is someone who RIDES a harley.

 

I ride a 2010 1200. I thought a bucket would be cool, but I do own a black Arai Astral full face & yes I wear it.

 

That's a serious looking helmet with a serious price tag. Glad you like it.

 

Ask my wife, I don't wear seatbelts either. I drive almost 30,000 miles a year for my job. Still kickin'
Don't you just hate that....

 

I have every kind of helmet and always wear one of them (Bell 500 is my fav). Do what you want.

 

I wear a brain bucket, but know people who have been riding for 40-50 years wearing a full face. It's just preference. I personally don't wear them because I get claustrophobic and have personal safety opinions, but it doesn't make you any less of a "biker".
