I recently bought my FZ6, I really like the bike. I hadn't ridden in about 10 years and the bikes I had in the past I used for commuting so I had very tall windshields, as a consequence got very little turbulence around the helmet. My fz6 is an 05 and it would appear that there is nothing available in terms of a much taller windshield. The real question is this... I bought a "convertible" scorpion helmet, meaning you can wear as a full face, or open faced and yes it's sized correctly, fits nice and snug. It was not a cheap helmet and by all indications well made. In either configuration the noise in the helmet is deafening, even with the sponge type earplugs. I really like the bike but the noise is so bothersome it takes away from the fun factor. Did I just buy the wrong helmet or is this normal??
