Have decided to add a bit more protection but not go with the full face. Any recommendations for what 3/4 helmet to try.  I have a longer narrow head versus the global shape.
thanks in advance

I use the Arai with built in flip down shield. Probably the most comfortable helmets I've had. Not sure what scoot you have, but if your interested in built -in headsets and speakers check out J&M Corporation. I'm sure there is a thread around here somewhere.

I have a Nolan N42 Outlaw, it comes with a pretty cool shield system that incorporates a long clear shield and a shorter tinted shield that operate independently from each other.  I’ve used it without the windshield on the bike and it cuts the wind very nicely, did not experience any lift but there was more noise then I thought there would be.  I have the same type head you described and the first couple of times I wore it, I experienced a pressure point in the forehead area after about an hour or so but now that it is broke in I no longer experience that.

Good luck with your search

I like the HCJ and the Harley ones (made by HJC I think).  I have 2 of these Harley helmets set up with the J&M headsets to use with a passenger while touring.  No complaints.  It is pretty easy to switch from the sun visors to the full face shields which come in real handy in case of rain.  Just keep the full face shields in the right saddle bag along with the other touring stuff I usually take with me (rain suits, etc.).

Question for those that have the 3/4 helmets. How well can you still hear the stereo w/these? I currently have stock radio w/Hogtunes speakers. Anybody w/same set up that wears a 3/4 helmet let me know how well you can still hear the music. I'm considering something like this in order to hook bluetooth headset/microphone up to my Zumo so I will have phone capabilities.

I ride with the 3/4 Arai or Nolan full face with stock radio and Hogtunes and have no problems with hearing the radio.  I just have the stock exhaust though.  The Arai 3/4 is the most comfortable helmet I have ever owned.  Hope this helps, Bob.

Bob,
Thanks that helps. I have Rineharts also maybe I should have included that in my previous question.

When AJ, Hoist and I were in NY at the dealers a tech pulled out of the parking lot with a helmet on that was an open face that had a shield that flipped up and over the helmet. I've never seen one like it before. I've searched several sites looking for a helmet like it.

That may have been a FULL FACE that Flips up , they look strange if you hvae not seen one before.

No it wasn't a flip up helmet. I own several of them. If I had to give it a style for reference I'd say older pilot helmet. The closest thing to it that I've found is by MOMO.



The one that the tech had on clearly had the just the shield all the way out of view. I'll find it even if I have to call there!

That may be the easiest way to find out - Call The Man

Another possibility.
