My wife and other passengers all wear full-face. No full-facie no ridie.

But seriously, take her to a shop and have her try on lots of helmets. Find one that fits first. Looks come second to protection.

Exactly. Full face is the only way to go in my opinion.

Then get her a modular helmet, full face that flips up. There are many brands on the market that range in price. Full face protection with convenience of open face.

On an added note,

I wear a Shoei RF-1000, I want to get an X-11, now my next new pass helmet will be another RF-1000, that way I can have one with a clear shield and one with the tinted shield to go from both.

All shields from Shoei work on X-11, RF-1000 and the TZR.

I recommend a full face. Why you ask?

Well when i had a lady on the back of mine she was so persistant on having PINK PINK PINK so i said what ever you have to wear it. But it was always a full faced Joe Rocket Helmet. Or an Icon i have found my past two lady friends have liked very much. Good luck with trying to get what she wants!

They make those if you're serious ...

After lowsiding into a pole at 60 mph avoiding a deer. Broken collerbone was it. Was in the garage starting the repair 15 min. after getting out of the hospital thanks to good gear. Wear the best you can afford.
