My main helmet is a full-face Scorpion EXO-1100 that has all my touring/commuting creature comforts- internal sun visor and Sena Bluetooth module. I also have a 3/4 helmet that I wear on occasion if I know I'm only hopping around locally, made by Licks Cycles.
Licks' 3/4 claims to be one of the lowest profile DOT approved helmets, so as to avoid looking like the Great Gazoo. Mine seems to fit a little loose so perhaps that's part of my issue, but at highway speeds I get a tremendous amount of lift pulling the helmet upwards and rotating towards the back of the head. I pair it with sunglasses, goggles, 1/2 face shield and full face shield- all produce this feeling of lift. That said, I like having the wind on my face so it's a nice option for staying close.
If it's the retro look you're wanting to maintain, another helmet you might want to consider is one of the new Bell Bullitts: http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/bell-bullitt-helmet
It's expensive for sure but is well-reviewed and would look the part with the CB. I have one on my wish list!
