picked up one of these full face helmets prior to our trip from Connecticut to Georgia and then Daytona and back to Connecticut.  Great helmet only weighs 3 lbs and it is basically the same as the HD FXRG helmet.  I would say though that with the flhtcuse2 there is a considerable amount of buffeting behind the windshield with a full face.  It vibrated my head so bad I thought something was wrong with the bike and was considering stopping until I put my head completely behind the windshield and the buffeting went away.  Would probably work on a bike without the fairing windshield combination.

I have the limited prod. FXRG and it nice. I agree,very light weight. But full face is still not my favorite choice.

Those member who have tried the clearveiw shields windshield, I wonder if this stops some of buffeting jdctss is talking about?

I had the EXACT same problem on my FLHTCUSE2,,,,,,,, until I took off the terrible stock windshield and put on the Clearview. The stock 9" windshield, with the curl-over at the top, dumped all of that disturbed air right about eye-level, causing a terrible problem with buffetting. The 12" Clearview, with the euro-lip, pushed the bubble up to where it just barely touches the top of the helmet. The difference was astounding. That stock windshield, may look cool, but is useless as far as I'm concerned.

The 6.5" Clearview with the recurve I have has no appreciable buffeting below 90.

I use a Shoei RF 1000 full face and the spoiler on the back of the helmet also really helps with it's stability

Anyone know who makes the 'lightest' full-face helmet?    spyder

I have the HJC Flip up helmet with Clearview 9.5" with curve lip - works great - wind hits above the visor - also FWIW, I am 6'1.
