Full or Open Face Helmet?

[redReno_imp]

I still have my graphic heavy full face helmet from Ninja days...but it seems like with this CB1100 it would be more natural to wear an open face helmet with glasses or possibly a shield...what are others doing?
I was thinking something like this from Shoei.

I like that helmet for sure, and would probably like riding with it especially in the summer here.
But I would stick with a full face all year round for the protection.

I have a shoei qwest in the matte deep grey color with a dark tint screen. I've had it with my Nighthawk, but it definitely matches the CB11 way better. It's actually not as dark as it is in the pic on their website and is slightly darker than the CB11's side cover. The silver helmet would probably be a nicer match.

I enjoy riding with it, it is very comfortable and the screen can be set in about 8 different spots from open to close and is easy to remove.
There is room for my chatterbox speakers and listening to music or chatting with a buddy is great.

My only complaints are,
at higher speeds without a windshield on the bike it can get noisy with wind, and with the chin curtain the screen fogs up easily in the mornings.

The Qwest is supposed to be about the quietest helmet Shoei makes. What kind of noise are you getting? If it's a high pitched whistling, you'll need to adjust the plates on the sides. Apparently, they didn't properly adjust a lot of Qwests out of the factory. I had to do this with mine; once I did, it was noticeably quieter.

Thanks I'll give it a shot, I'll let you know if it works.

And to stay on topic,
FULL FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!!
......and 3/4 with shades only when you plan on going 5 mph past some fine looking ladies... keeping your eyes on them as you pass, then looking forward and you end up rear ending some buff macho man in his tiny two seater who beats you to a pulp in viewing distance from the fine looking ladies......yea I'll just stick with my full face.
