Now that I am going to be back on 2 wheels, I'll need to pick up another helmet. I'll be on a cruiser now and I don't want to look like a complete goon but I will only wear a full face and my solid red Shoei will look like shit on the bike. I want something black, possibly matte black with maybe a few hi gloss black graphics. Anyone seen anything like this? Shoe fits my head shape well and so does Suomy. AGV does not fit my head shape. Should I just buy a black matte helmet and add my own graphics?

Have you considered shark? They make great helmets.

Simpson. The downside is they produce hellacious wind noise.

Shoei RF-1000.

Great lid.

If you can find a black one around, they can be had stupid cheap.

Get a modular. You won't regreat it. Besides you're only getting a black one...correct?

I have a nolan modular and its a sweet helmet. I wore it allot when I first started but once I got use to my open face... I hate going back.

That is the one I was looking for last night when it was said flat black. Just didn't/don't know the quality of the Bell's.

I sell the fuck out of the Shark modulars. by far my best selling lid at my shop. FWIW, i have an RSX and i went down in it last year, hardly took any damage. it is by far the best made lid i own.

Shark FTW!
