Brighton, TN | Like to drink the Dr. Pepper on the way in. I see the Nolan Victory branded but a little spendy. Don't think I have to have a Victory branded item. Any ideas?
My head and ears getting a little cold on these 30-40 degree temps. |

SC, Bluffton | Voz runs small, and is a little Noisy, but priced right. Any model with "R" proceeding it has ear cavities
for speakers. I like all the HJC fits. The Symax has speaker cavities, but the CLMax does not. The
CLMax is supposedly quieter. I have all of these. I bought one from JCWhitney, and used it for a few
Months. I dropped it just from the seat of the Goldwing. The chin spilt about a full inch from the bottom.
www.Denniskirk.com has some on clearance right now. I am worse than a woman with shoes when it
comes to helmets. LOL I have about 7 right now. Copy & paste this link:

Arkansas | Po,
I've got a black HJC Symax in Medium that is in very good condition-never dropped . With a light smoke shield. Let me know if you're interested. I cpould bring it over to FRS one of these weekends for you to try. Might save you some bucks and help clean my shelf of one of my 5 helmets. Wasn't even used much.

Ann Arbor, MI | From the research I did the Arai and the Shoei seemed to be the favorites out there in full faced but they're not modular. They're even more expensive than the Nolan's but appear better constructed.
I had a Harley modular which I believe is made by HJC. It was OK until I bought an Arai Profile (non-modular). I changed because Snell won't rate a modular helmet and I figured if they won't rate one then I'm probably not getting the best protection. The Arai is much quieter and fogs considerably less. It also has removable/washable liners. The cheeks are a little snug for my head shape but I believe they offer thinner ones if I don't get used to these. I will probably miss the convenience of the flip up but so far it's not bad especially since the weather is colder and I'd rather have the non-fogging now. The modular was nice in the warmer weather when sitting at a stop light.
As for the Dr. Pepper how about an IV? Maybe drill a hole for a straw. LOL
Good Luck! There are no easy choices out there. Figure out how much your head is worth and that may narrow your choices. |

Tacoma, WA | I have a Caberg modular that I use. It is a sweet helmet, quiet, and the faceshield is fog-free. Kinna spendy, but NICE. Mine has an integrated sunshield too, for those sunny spots. It can be retracted when not in use. Most of the time for my commute I just use my 3/4 helmet, tho. The Caberg will get my headset.-----Metalguy |

Brighton, TN | I looked on their website for the Caberg and I don't see where they distribute to the U.S.A. Where did you find one? or had to order online. |

Ann Arbor, MI | Here's a USA site: http://caberghelmets.com/
Those are nice looking helmets. They'd look great with the Vision. |

Tacoma, WA | I got mine at an independant motorcycle shop in Lacey, WA called Vince's. He had a few, and he was local so I was able to check them out first hand. Mine is a metallic black, and way nice. |

Brighton, TN | Dude, all about the comfort. I know the flip up even adds more Sci-fi to me and the bike, but I haven't figured out how to stay warm and still get to enjoy the Dr. Pepper. I rode in this morning and couldn't even drink my DP, because I had the neoprene stretchy face covering over the nose and mouth and it doesn't always go back the way I set it. So, no DP (or coffee in Buckeye language) for me on morning ride. I tooo neeed the jUICE. |

These guys are great to deal with, and accept returns no hassle.

| Check out the Scorpion line. I really like the EX-100 but it's not a full face but does what I want. |

Scottsdale AZ | Poo- I paid like $275 for all black at the dealer store - It had an option to add Victory brand to the helmet which I declined. With the Victory branding it was goin to be like $75 more. My wife got one with fancy design without branding and it was $350. You might try your dealer, or I can give you # for mine, I would imagine all the ones on the Polaris site include the Victory branding.
BTW, like you, I like to flip the face up for drinkin etc. and lock it down on the road.

Brighton, TN | DessertJam, not that I'm an engish major or can spll or nuthin, but it might bee easier to cut, copy, paste the name, I am not sure who "POO" is, I'm pretty sure I showered before I came on here. I don't care about the Brand portion. Just need a good flip up helmet. Thanks for the info. |

29 Palms California | poo,,,LOL ! Thank goodness he didn't just come out with it... hey POOP! LOL...hahahaaaa POOP, ha, ha.....dang thats a funny word to spell also...POOP.. I was thinking more along the line of a Pollo shirt,,,but POOP...POO...LOL! I'm glad I don't have to wear the full face helmet. Then again, the woman think it's mysterious if they can't see your face..poop. HAHHHHHAAA dang thats funny. Dude, they want an arm and leg for those jammies. I wonder if you could get a heated one? The neoprene face mask sucks. I had to cut a hole out of my skeleton mask so i could smoke, and then my sun glasses fogged up. Your going to need 2 helmets. One for winter, and one for summer. I got my 2003 eglide up for sale...$9000. Think thats to low? |
