I have always used Scorpion EXO 900 / EXO 930 convertible modulars so I could ride with the same Open 3/4 face helmet as an option. I did get to use my buddies "Revolver" helmet, I think it was Shark brand that use to make them, and the wind would still catch that chin bar and force your head around awkwardly. I wasn't aware that LS2 made a similar style so obviously haven't tried it. Have you ridden on an standard non-fairing MC and how did it perform in the wind? As for the intercom, I'm a fan of the Sena 20 line with the optional mounting bracket that still has an input for our Yamaha / Honda style intercom on the Ventures. I can use the helmet on my other bikes with Bluetooth, or plug into the Venture and still use the factory Radio / Intercom / CB. Amazon - Sena Universal Honda CB

Hello Venture friends. I only got one short ride in last year, on November 19th, and broke my ankle that same day. It has rained so much this spring that I didn't try to ride until this week. I got 180 miles in on 2 different days and they were great rides, BUT I realized yesterday that I am going to have to go to a trike instead of the Venture. Between the back surgery and arthritis in my hips, it is a real struggle to manage the heavy weight of the Venture. I do ok when I get moving but getting on and off and moving around in tight places is very hard. I will be asking for advice or suggestions on different rides to check out. I want to stay with a touring ride, so a Goldwing trike looks good, but I am going to look at a Cam Am Spyder as well. Good luck to all. Steve.

Steve, I have a friend who recently moved from his 2nd Gen Venture to a Can Am for similar reasons to what you mention. I went riding with him a couple of weeks ago. Not knocking the Venture nor GW trikes, but from what he said and I observed, Can Am looks like it would be a good choice.

In my opinion the only way to buy a helmet is on fit. Size varies between manufacturers and head shapes vary with manufacturers only fitting certain shapes. I replace mine every five years and Shoei modular as my go to. I use a comm system between helmets blue toothed to our respective iPhones

Hi, I just got a 2009 RSV. I'm loving almost everything about it. A couple of things though. First, has anyone come up with a way to reprogram the cruise control to get rid of the 81mph upper limit? I live in San Diego and riding at 80 MPH will get you flattened on the freeway 🙂 And second, not a problem with the bike, but I'd like to add a luggage rack to the helmet box, anyone got a recommendation for a good one? In the future, I'm hoping to do some changes with the integrated sound system, but I'm not eager to break things right away :-) Thanks for listening guys, it's nice to be here
