Help me pick Helmet color...
Hello everyone,
I'm going to pick up my Road King Classic on Saturday and since this is my first bike i need helmets for me and the wife. I know I want the 1/2 helmet design, but don't know what color. My bike is Glacier Pearl White. Should I go black or white helmet?
Just don't want to look like an idiot.
Thanks for the input.

I'd go with black. You'll have a much better selection, they'll be cheaper and if you trade bikes it will go with any color you might end up with.

IMO there are only 2 choices...gloss black or flat black. 
But I gotta warn you, there's a thing that grips a lot of us called HELMET STICKER SYNDROME!

If you get a "half-helmet" be sure you get ear plugs. Hearing loss sucks. Black helmets are hotter in the sun. A white helmet will make you look like a cop. How about "mirror?" Oops sorry, I mean chrome!

Key...
Black is a much faster helmet... the fastest helmet. You will need some black to counteract all that slow white.
