#368776 throwback (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 23 Helmets? 2 Years ago   Hey guys! I just picked up my first R* and wanting some opinions on some helmets. 1st off, I really like the old school look (ie. white walls, bobbers...etc.) I'm trying to find some good helmets for my wife and I and keep that retro styling. I'm a big advocate of safety so, I really don't want any novelty helmets. I'm thinking maybe some 3/4's, a modular. I will be doing some 1hr rides back and forth from work on a regular basis so, that may factor some as well. I don't "plan" on riding in the rain but, we all know it happens sometimes. My bike is black with white walls and setup full dressed. Any help/advise will be very appreciated. Thanks, throwback   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #368792 Milateket (User) North Of The Boarder Platinum Boarder Posts: 1844 Re:Helmets? 2 Years ago   I have been wearing the GMax GM55S. I tried a lot of helmets on and this one seemed the most comfortable to me. http://www.g-max.com/gmax/gm55S.html   Logged     Loren North Of The Boarder Cape Breton   The administrator has disabled public write access. #368793 silpaul (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 62 Re:Helmets? 2 Years ago   Hello Have a look a the the GMAX helmets. http://www.g-max.com/gmax/products.html I owned 2. One is a half helmet and the other is a full face flip up. I like both of them. They fit my head well and they are not very heavy. Best of all they are easy on the pocket.

Then I saw some really cool looking retro helmets which threw a wrench in my plans. Something like this one: http://www1.motorcyclehelmetsandjackets.com/mc_images/option/Z1R-JimmyRetro-Helmet-black-2013.jpg One big thing is going to be comfort for my wife. As you all know, if the wife ain't happy...ain't nobody happy. She's used to the full face that she wore on our old crotch rocket but, wants something to match the bike style better. What do your wives, girlfriends, mistresses wear?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #368810 bigflip (User) Don't bro me if you don't know me..... Expert Boarder Posts: 551 Re:Helmets? 2 Years ago   There's a few 3/4 helmets out there that are pretty nice. You looking for DOT or just novelty? Take a look at these: http://www.lickscycles.com/catalog/multi-popup.php?products_id=2147&cms_product_multi_image_id=347 http://www.biltwellinc.com/helmets.php http://www.thebellstore.com/Helmets/custom500.html   Logged     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQEqMypDEas   The administrator has disabled public write access. #368816 takehikes (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2700 Re:Helmets? 2 Years ago   just spent the whole weekend with my melon inside of a brand new Rockhard 3/4 and I highly recommend it. Great fit and finish and reasonably priced and DOT but doesn't look it at all. rode it lots of wind and at high speed and no buffeting or lifting. Very nice helmet and price was good too.   Logged     http://aeechoppers.blogspot.com/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #368819 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 14595 Re:Helmets? 2 Years ago   I have a 3/4 with face shields for me and the wife and a half just to put around in. I used to ride with just a ball cap until I had my wreck. I end up rolling for some distance and still had my cap and sun glasses on. After that I started wearing my lids. We were on one ride and a passing horse trailer kicked up a rock that went over the windshield and over my head and hit the wife in the head between the eyes just under the helmet. I bought the wife her face shield the next day.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #368829 DRABHorse (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 247 Re:Helmets? 2 Years ago   I hear that//// The wife always rides with the half shield down.. Says the bugs bounce off mine and end up on hers.. She doesnt like fresh meat on the fly.. Prefers slow grilled..lol And hates the taste of mud and rocks.   Logged     Sandy(President) SASR01 ISRA 29615 RCL 286 Never Ride Faster Then Your Angel Can Fly   The administrator has disabled public write access. #368870 OBMF (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 618 Re:Helmets? 2 Years ago   For really cool old-school 3/4 style DOT helmets in nice metalflake it's hard to beat the Fulmer V2 line. Bad thing is, they refuse to sell on-line, so you have to buy them at a dealer. They are low-profile, like the old helmets of the 60's and 70's, so you avoid the 'bobblehead' look.
