I was thinking something like this from Shoei.

HikerToo,
I was wearing that exact Shoei 3/4 helmet and I just bought and started wearing a Shoei X-Twelve full face helmet. On my H-D Road King the 3/4 helmet with a face shield worked fine because the windshield directed most of the airflow up and over my head and protected my chin and neck from flying debris. On the CB with no wind protection I took two hits from stones thrown up by a car ahead of me and decided to switch. The X-Twelve is pricey at about $650 but it's an amazing helmet with great airflow which is really important here in AZ. Cheers.
