After looking at about every site online, I finally decided on some new helmets for me and my wife. I found these on motorcyclesuperstore.com on closeout for $69.99 each and free shipping.  rayof They are both an AFX FX-100 and are DOT-ECE approved. They have a smoke visor that is built in to the inside of the helmets to act as a sun visor and retract when not in use. I thought it was pretty cool. Of course, actually wearing them while riding will be the deciding factor if I like it or not. I figure, if I don't like them, I can always re sell them on Ebay and start over.  banana

Some nice deals...  gonna take a look myself.  I have an old HJC but it is noisy and hurts my forehead.  Only problem ordering online is the fit.  Doe anyone have a fullface with the chin that lifts?  Thinking of getting one, not sure how they are.

Adam - I have the Fulmer M1, and if you wear prescription glasses, a modular helmet is an absolute must.  I admit that I now wish I held out for a modular helmet with the retractable smoke shield like JB's.  My helmet has a smoke visor on it, and riding at night without switching the visor is impossible.

New enough just send me an email about their helmet clearance... I  am pondering the HJC FS-15.  It's supposed to be the replacement to the AC line - I dig my AC11, but it's getting old.

Those new enough sale prices on the FS-15 are great......btw my glasses fit fine under a regular FF (is-16) if any four-eye is thinking of going that direction.          bugey

Got my helmets from UPS today. They look really nice and fit well. Can't wait to try them out on the road.  thumb
