I live in PA, thus no helmets needed. With that said, I wear a Skull Crusher helmet when riding in helmet law states and if we go on overnight trips I pack a FF in case of rain.

I get compliments on my FF all the time. But that is because it has pigtails on it plus Rhinestones.
I ride a lot and have had a ff since second week. My bike isn't a fashion accessory and neither is my helmet ( the fake pigtails are)
When I want a fashion accessory I buy a new purse.
Ff is because I am vain enough to want to protect my face not just my head.
I find it weird when people only wear a certain helmet to fit thier bike. That would be like I wear a seat belt in my yaris but not my hubby's jeep since seatbelt don't go with a jeep.
Wear what you want if that is a FF great if it is a beanie great.
My ff is a shoei 1100

I wear a flat black Shoei with the darkest tint pinlock face shield insert. I like it much better then when I used to wear a half helmet.

Seriously, when it comes to being safe or being cool, I'll pick safe.

FF all the time, FXRG jacket and gloves, Sliders pants and cowboy boots, all the time. recently added a Icon spin protector... i have a really bad back from a traffic Acc ten years ago.

i ride a 2012 Ultra, parl white. never once had anyone say anything about the FF... its always the bike.

im not riding to impress people. i dont care what anyone thinks about the lid. im riding for me and i try to be as safe as i can...

So, what FF helmet looks like it belongs on a Harley?
The one owned by a person that's more interested in their safety than they are in some internet poser's opinion of appearances.

..I've noticed a lot of the H-A's I see on the highway these days are wearing FF helmets...although their reason is a little different (as in avoiding recognition)...don't think anyone would be giving THEM sh*t about it....
