Matching helmets
« on: August 12, 2011, 05:05:36 PM »
My wife and I bought helmets yesterday, I bought half, and she got 3/4 with a shield.  Should we have gotten them matching? 


What are you opinion?

No.  But one in yellow and one in grey would be the best combo!   :2vrolijk_21:

In my opinion it doesn't matter what color or style you have. It's up to You and you alone! :2vrolijk_21: By the way, welcome to the site and you have a great taste in motorcycles! :D :bananarock: God Bless! :2vrolijk_21:

I agree with JR!  :2vrolijk_21:

Welcome, get whatever fits and does what you want it to do. No matter what some will love your choice and others won't care for it.

They only NEED to match if you are riding a Gold Wing. Wear what you are most comfortable in. I have full face, 3/4, & 1/2 helmets. Depends on the weather, length of ride, whether or not I want tunes, and various fashion factors.

I would love to be able to just find one matching my bike color scheme...

I understand painting helmets is a big no-no, and can understand why HD does not provide them (too many choices to be able to please folks...).  But a full face, flip up, helmet with my CVO color scheme would look great!

Sorry, but I've always felt that matching helmets was kind of a HONDA thing! :o
