New type of helmet?

[fj12_rider]

Here in the UK both the police and the Paramedics use flip front modular helmets . (shoei ones I believe ) .

Anyone seen or heard of a visor HUD yet? That would be the shizzle

Yes, I have seen them advertised. They are expensive.

Just a question.Anybody ever try a modular helment.I don't like the thought of the whole front flipping up..

i crashed in one with the chin bar up.  pics are on here somewhere.

I must admit the thought of wearing an open faced helmet really scares me . I know it`s highly unlikely but coming off and landing on your chin would just be horrible . Not to mention being hit in the face by something . I know many people wear them but definitely not for me .

All my life I wore helmets just like this one

Yes this is my helmet, I did just recently bought a full face helmet, only because I lost 2 pairs of sunglasses while riding my fj, never had this problem on my Harley, But on my FJ, maybe a full face will work better, When I get a pic of my full face, I'll post it

I've had the Bilt moduler from CycleGear for a year. It has the drop down sunglasses and I sometimes use them, but mostly if I remove the front section to make the helmet into an openface pilot type. Not bad for lower town speeds, but really not useful for the hiway on the FJ. I also have a half helmet that I never use on the FJ. The wind just smacks the rim and tries to lift it too much to be comfortable. The Bilt feels a little heavy in the hand, but actually rides pretty nice on the head. (My head, anyway. Your head may vary) My only complaint about it is that it could be vented a little better, but I'm considering some mods to the vent intakes..

Just bought a HJC modular and am really happy with it. The fit is really good for my fat head.(insert joke here). Got it from Royal Dist. in Ontario and was only 160 dollars delivered to me.

I have an HJC IS MAX, it's modular with an internal sunshade. The sunshade is nice, since I wear glasses. It gets me out of having to carry around a second set.  The main reason I bought it, though, it was the most comfortable for me of any helmet I tried.

As far as the safety, I can see there being an issue with the bar not being latched  all the way. You can't just flip it down, you have to tug and make sure it latched.

There is also a slight problem with fogging because the breath cups they sell for that model don't really work. Pinlock insert, however, helps a lot.
