TC,
So how does it sound at highway speeds? Need ear plugs? CB Clear?

Mark...this one is for the Vrod only, so haven't tried it out behind the fairing on the big bike, but....having worn the Nolan on the Vrod at the same speeds, I would say the noise level is about the same in both helmets, just a bit different frequency, perhaps just a touch louder on this one because of the ventilation. On the V, I really think I need to start wearing ear plugs for wind noise. The Windvest shield does a great job, but nothing makes up for the Batwing on the Ultras, with the Clearview.
Having said all that, this helmet would make a good candidate for installing the J&M headset system. There is room around the ears. For those of you who have problems with helmets fitting too tight around the ears, you might want to find one of these and try it out in the store.
Also, the release button for the flip up feature is located just inside the very front of the lower lip of the chin on the helmet...pinch with your thumb, and flip it up. The mechanism is aluminum and looks to be extremely durable. It's quite a nice helmet, and looks good too. It's pricey, but no more so than other good quality flips. I think KBC makes this one for HD. If you wanted to save a few bucks, here's a link:
