Needed a Snell rated helmet for Maxton, so I choose the Shoei X-Eleven for it's exceptional aerodynamics (note rear spoiler). Turns out to also be the lightest, best ventilated helmet I have ever owned... graphics not bad either.



Might not be the best choice for a "cruiser" helmet because the aerodynamic chin seal adds to on-off complexity, but definitely one you want on should you bounce on a race track.
 
Got my one after seeing my friend go down on his VFR 110kmph on a wet road through some twisties, he went down hard and was out cold for over 5 minutes, his Shoei most definately saved his head as it hit very very hard, he still busted his collar bone and 6 ribs, agreed one of the lightest helmets to wear hardly feel like you have it on........... good luck with your mission H.
 
Great bucket!!! I've got one as a track helmet.. Very comfy and doesn't buffet at high speeds.. It is pretty noisy compared to the Arai Profile though...
 
helmet matches bike

It looks like that helmet will match up with your bike pretty good. I have used shoei x-eleven for about five years now. mine is solid silver/black interior. It is real handy for those 135mph lotto ticket runs up to Georgia and back. Rademis
