Remove that bird emblem and belt but leave the pointer on. Paint it black but chrome the pointer.

Make it look mean.

I don't want to ride it on highway in here.... way too many careless drivers with huge SUVS - yapping away on cell phones. I prefer wearing full-face helmet for safety reason. I guess I'll try Wal-Mart although it's about 30 min away.

LOL! this pics never dies!... the pics been floating around the motorcycle forum for years!....

I used to have sumoy helmet and it does have a space on my ear that's big enought for dumbo ears.. so u might want to try'em out.. but the price is heafty...

right now I'm using shoei and it's very comforable. I take CI off put it in my pocket before I ride.. there's no telling what will happen if I ever crash with CI under the helmet.. I bet it'll hurt!!! (knock on wood)

Just sayin'

I was thinking the same thing.

It's hard to hear in the helmet. If it was me, I would just put it in the compartment while I drive.

I am hard-of-hearing and I really do not like to be without my hearing aid. I do not like taking off my hearing aid when I am riding, because I want to hear my surrounding.

So... I needed to find a helmet that was friendly to my ears. The kind of helmet that works best for me are the modular helmet, where it looks like a full-face helmet with the facemask opens up. When the helmet is in an open position, I would stretch the bottom of the helmet just enough to get my ears (with my HA) through the neck part of the helmet. Close the facemask and you are done.

Occassionally, I would need to keep the volume down slightly to cut feedback, but usually not a problem. Click on the following link to see what I am talking about.

I have found that half-faced with visor works better with HA at regular volume but...... I prefer full-face
