    motorcycle helmets

    hey guys, Im looking for some opinions on motorcycle helmets. Im riding my 07 honda 750 shadow c2, and im not sure what I want for a helmet. Right now I'm just using an open faced black 3/4 helmet, and I personally hate the looks of it lol. I dont really want a full faced helmet, and I'm not sure how much i like the looks of a 1/2 helmet either. So what do you guys think? I want to get a new helmet but im just not sure what i like, they all seem too bulky.

    btw heres a pic of a bike like mine, except mine is black with grey flames, not just black.

    I really like these helmets. It is a full face, but the whole front can flip up like this:

    Heres one for sale. Im not sure if this was the brand that my buddy had, but I really liked his.

    I know you can find one cheaper, these are just examples.

    I recently got knocked off my bike, I was wearing a full face helmet. I ended up with a deep scuff on the front a crack in the back, but my head survived just fine
    If I was wearing an open face helmet I would not have chin now, I know it doesn't really fit in with your bike but unless you wear a full face helmet you are virtually wasting your time My dad insists on wearing an open face helmet, i'm trying my hardest to change his mind
    I've now got a Shoei raid 2 helmet. Its the most comfortable helmet I have ever had and can highly recommend it. HJC also make good helmets, the AC-11 was my 2nd choice.
    Thats my advice, hope it is some use

    Go old-school and wear one of those World War 1 german helmets with the spike! Or even worse, a bicycle helmet!
