    Riding a Hog I thought I better buy an open faced helmet ;D
    I normally wear full face in the winter and an open face in the summer. I must comment on the fact that with an open face helmet it is much easier to look behind you and all round observation is better. head movement is so much more restricted with a full face helmet.

    Well they are doing face transplants now technology has moved on so your be alright with a suitable donor... PMSL ;D ;D ;D

    As for looking behind no differenace if you actually turn around in your seat. Observation is down to rider's own ability :-/

    Freaken liability open facer's IMHO ;D ;D ;D ;D

    Ok odd, any particular reason you need an open faced lid with a HOG, I've ridden one for 10 years and NEVER had
    and open faced lid, it makes no difference at all and you just end up looking like those Poofy HOG (harley owners group) lot
    who spend most of their time polishing chrome instead of riding their bikes.

    do yourself a favour and get a normal lid, that way if you come off you won't risk wearing your jawbone away

    They do suit the bikes, but your face is worth more than looking good IMHO.
