Ha ha!

Well, I guess I will show mine, and my granddaughters two helmets. My other helmet, not shown, is an older HJC Modular Helmet I still wear when it its over 90F here, which it will by next month probably.




I do add reflecting tape.

According to the tests done by Champion helmets- the Glamster is actually 1 DB quieter than the NXR.

Of course that is assuming the helmet fits you well. Different helmets, even in the same size from the same company can fit different.

I installed the chin vent screen on mine, adjusted the visor carefully to make sure it mated with the seal- and used the included oil to lube the seal.

I have both glamster and NXR in hands, both the same size and with chin curtain. NXR is definitely much quieter, I even ride it without earplugs most of the time. Glamster is challenging to ride without earplugs.

It can be due to a position of CB1100RS, don’t know.

Same size doesn’t mean same shape- or same size for that matter.

Angle does make a difference on any helmet- so yah results can vary on different bikes.

That being said- champion uses electronic test tools in real world- but try to be consistent- test measurement.

I wanted a helmet with a classic style to match the retro vibe of my EX. I considered getting another [url=https://www.bellhelmets.com/motorcycle/p/custom-500-cruiser-motorcycle-helmet/250030000200000001.html]Bell Custom 500 or a [url=https://www.biltwellinc.com/blogs/wtf/real-world-road-test-honda-cb1100ex]Biltwell Gringo. Ultimately, though, I settled on an [url=https://www.agv.com/us/en/full-face/x3000/]AGV X3000.

It's a really light helmet but also very quiet. And I really like having the full-face protection. The only thing was that stupid AGV logo on the front. I may like their helmet, but I don't want to be a billboard for them.

No problem! I just made up a sticker of the correct size for a brand I would rather be representing.

Classy-lookin' helmets moto_hero.

If you make up some more of those stickers moto-hero, if I can afford them I'd take a couple

I have seen that helmet quite a bit, it is one of the better looking retros out there. Personally I don't mind the AGV logo though.
