I am going to have a new helmet made to match my pumkin. I have a RF 900 now and like it but it does not breath very well. Please tell me the pros and cons of what you all have.
Thanks,
Paul

Thanks for the info Sane_man...I'll be needing that this winter!I had a HJC CL-12 and now have the Shoei Z-II. It is very quiet and vents are awesome. The top of my head get great airflow and stays cool. It comes with the chin insert for winter to keep the air out.
VaBusa, my CL-12 has the velcro for the chin shield, so I'm sure they have one for the CL-14.
Absolutely true Eak, That is one of the reasons I moved to Arai, the Shoei's were just huge. I think they are getting better or have changed their manufactering processes some but both the Shoeis in the house really dwarf the Arai.Arai all the way. I have used many different brands over the years and nothing comes close to the quality and fit and finish of an Arai. I personally have a Quantum-F and it is very light and comfortable and they have an awesome graphics selection (if you want that).
Like others have said, different brands and models seem to fit different shaped heads so try as many as you can find and spend as much as you can afford. DO NOT GO CHEAP ON A HELMET - BAD MOVE!
I used to use Shoei's (still have an X-Tec - not bad), but most of them do not fit right and they are all too damn big. What I mean is no matter what size you get, compare them to a same size Arai and they are noticeably larger in outside dimension. But it varies largely by model.
