I wear a Nolan N70. It can be used with or without a visor and faceshield in any combination. At around $120, it's affordable. Bogdan

I chose the RF-800 because it was one of the only helmets on the market that fit (sort of). I bought it from www.motodepot.com but www.helmetshop.com has a better price and they do not tack on a bulls__t 3% handling charge. RM

I have a Nolan N100 (so does my wife) and an Arai Dualsport. I've retired my HJC. I love the flip face of the Nolan. It allows me not to destroy glasses and is so convenient with talking with people, filling up for gas, sipping some water, you name it. It is noiser than most helmets I've had with wind noise and I wouldn't recommend riding with it without earplugs for any great distance. Comfort is outstanding. Kurt

I agree with Kurt. I have an N100 also and must say it is an exceptional value. Very comfortable to boot. For off-road riding, I use an HCJ open face and goggles. Gino

I bought a Shoei RFR because it is a good full face helmet and the only one I could find that would fit over my head. I did find one snowmobile helmet that would fit but didn't like the snowmobile logo on my road helmet. I bought mine locally because they actually had one I could try on and the price was as good as the catalogs. Alan Henderson A13 Iowa

Haven't given Nolan a chance yet, but have yet to hear anything bad about them. The Arai Quantum is working well for me on street/light trail stuff. Had to find an XXL, but's the best fitting helm I've bought. Is light & has lots of vents for keeping cool down here. The dark smoke shield works great in glaring sun and's about half the cost of the mirror types offered for it. With the Arai, you'll want to get some kind of open face helm w/goggles for heavy dirt though. Motorcycle Accessory Warehouse came in at about 100.00 cheaper than one of the local dealers here, on the Quantum/f. All best Scott A14 Sorrento

[b]I am interestest in whoever upgrades their clutch to Fred's Barnett kit, then how do you like the difference?[/b]   I did mine recently and I let Fred steer me and I got a great set of barnett plates and springs, one too few plates and one extra spring, from what I understand, that's how they come, and I got the instructions from Eric's KLR page -neil     [b]I sell the EBC & Barnett clutch kits.  Problem is that they don't come with the extra plate for the late model KLRs.  So I have an extra plate from a different manufacturer to complete the kit.  I have called EBC to see if they would make a kit for the late model KLRs and as such I haven't seen then available yet.[/b]   [b]Fred[/b]
