Karl - I use a modular, for the reasons Z mentioned. When I got mine most warned they weren't for riding when flipped up, though that appears not to be the case with the Shark Dwight linked. But something to think about.
ptions in KC other than dealerships I bought my & my daughter's helments @
Motorcycle Closeouts up north, & my wife's @
PowerSports4Less in Spring Hill - they seemed to have moved their store to
Big Twin Cycles in Edwardsville, KS. Not sure about Big Twin, the guys in Spring Hill were great but they didn't stock much in the store. More dirt/sport bike oriented but with some full/modular options is
Cycle Gear in Lenexa, on the frontage road off I-35 between 87th & 95th.
I'd be interested in hearing what you choose, I'll be looking to replace mine this year. Leaning towards the
Nolan N43E .
