You know I don't think I have ever measured the outside of my noodle, I should do that. It can't be that big it's contents sure aren't.

Make sure you try an HJC 3/4. They are the most common brand and it is very easy to find parts, shields and accessories for. They also are highly rated by the reviews on WebBikeWorld. The link for them is on the home page of HTT (harley tech talk)forums.com. These folks review motorcycle clothing like Consumer Reports rates cars, they are very in depth and serious. The problem is there are so many reviews you can get lost for a couple days but I am convinced they have stopped me from buying quite a few lemons over the years. I always check them first and buy prefered items when possible. They do boots, jeans, heated clothing, jackets both textile and leather, and riding pants plus miscellaneous and were one of the first reviews I've read to rate helmets for egg shaped vs round heads and they don't hesitate to call out products for poor quality or recomend the best bang for the buck! I found out from them to make sure on a 3/4 to try and get 5 snaps so you can use those cheap 5 snap shields if your on a trip and need to replace one. I had my daughter measure one and sew up a felt sleeve with a velcro flap tp store them in when on a trip in my trunk. Oh wait a minute, is a waterhead one of dose new Harleys'...nevermind.....

Those individuals know what I'm talking about when I say CAP LOCKS!!!

I've been working some long hours, loving on the grand son and being a mod in the other sections while still keeping my eye here. It has been kinda quiet here though...

Oh and scored some new riding boots on Ebay $15 buckeroos

the old style Bell 500 3 snap helmets were as low as 39 bucks recently, dumping them for the new ones with 5 snaps, but I just looked at a couple web stores, and looks like they're mostly gone; maybe some local brick and mortars have some left. I have a 3 snap, real comfortable and fits me perfect, but it just took the first glance over my shoulder at 65 to rip the shield off. Like Coastie said, 5 snap is the way to go. I like the flat flexible 5 snap shields with male & female snaps on the top three - you can snap a visor over them. Never had one of those come loose. Were something like a buck 99 when I first started using them, but they're still cheaper than most of the solid formed shields.

Not wearing a shield in this pic, but it shows my favorite kind of visor, a long vented off road one. Really helps on bright sunny days.
