what helmet should i buy? buell redline or hjc...

[chevnut55]

now that i sold my ninja and have a black firebolt,a lime green helnet looks stupid..i will not paint it because i can use it on my kawi super moto. so i think i have it down to 2 helmets. either the buell redline ,it looks good and goes with the bike ,but have not seen any revievs on it. i also like the hjc fs 10 ,it looks good and has the cool flip down sun sheild..so i will not have to change sheilds or wear sun glasses,however i will custom paint it to match my bike. they are about the same price. does anyone have the redline and how do you like it?

Here's what you do. You go and try on different helmets. The one that fits best is the one you want.

buell redline is a kbc t-8 modle.
there are some great deals on the whole buell line if you shop around

kbc helmets may be hard to find shields for
kbc WAS(i dunno if still is/if they closed) having issues with distribution
so... id vote for the hjc just for that, but i also agree u should go somewhere and try on every different helmet u can and walk away with the one that FELT best
it doesnt matter if the reviews from 100 people call it #1, if its #10 to you
ya know?

X2 on trying them on. All helmets fit differently.

I'd probably lean towards the KBC(Buell) one because you can get one for dirt cheap with the current markdowns.

Also, I have an HJC with the flip down visor. Never use it, honestly. It covers half my vision and is kinda awkward to ride with. You'd probably get used to it, but I wasn't a fan.
