Great review! Been thinking about buying this helmet and was worried about fogging. Your review was perfect, you went through everything and I learned a lot. Thanks for making the video bro.
This video was excellent and exceptionally informative. After watching this, I pulled the trigger for 2 H-D Capstone helmets, 2 chin curtains and 2 Sena pad inserts for the IS-Max II's for my husband and I. I picked up the helmets from Surdyke and the other items on Amazon. We both absolutely love the setup. Thank you for taking the time to do this review.
I have a huge head too so I get pretty irritated looking for a helmet. I decided to just bite the bullet and buy the capstone. There was a harley dealer going out of business about 70-80 miles away. They had everything 30% off and thankfully they had one left over so I got a pretty good deal on it. But I love the helmet. I kept the clear visor because it gets dark as HELL in the middle of the country late at night. It looks cool with the smoke visor, but I can't do a tinted visor at night.
Great review! My wife and I picked up a pair of the HJC IS-Max 2 today...I ride a 2018 Road Glide Ultra and would’ve liked the HD helmet, but saved over $100 getting the HJC...after picking up a couple pinlock lens and chin curtains I’m still saving!!!
i was looking for a new modular because HD had mentioned this product was discontinued and now visors/shields existed for it... then you find out its actually an HJC IS-Max2..... and all kinds of options exist. After calling HD directly (not a local dealer) and having them mislead like this adds yet another reason i try and avoid their products. Great post, i even ordered a swappable amber internal visor which is also really cool to combine with the smoke outer shield (HJC HJ-V5 Inner Sun Shield)
Wearing the same helmet with Pinlock great setup. Might mention that the HD headset with cord also works with this HJC.. Excellent review. Oh I still wear my earplugs but that’s just me.
Good review, very thorough. I loved my IS Max 2, got when I purchased my H-D but it didn't have the harley branding. Such simple helmet to put on and use. Great for long trips or hopping around town. Unfortunately I misplaced mine but I'm thinking about grabbing one again because they are just That Good.
Just ordered a 5x today, had no idea helmets came bigger than 2 or 3x as well. Hardly ever wear one but looking forward to it for the cold temps. Great review👍
Just bought this helmet after watching. Have been shopping for a month for a modular and they have discontinued the Capstone so it wasn’t easy to find. Very nice in the wind at interstate speeds, however it didn’t take long to realize the exhaust sounds get trapped inside making it very loud
one of the items to clean your shield is called "invisiglas" ...they're wipes, and contain no alcohol, like windex, and other glass cleaners..just make sure you wipe em off really well, cuz it does leave a film...once the film is wiped off, it's extremely clear!!
"I went to my "friends" over at Harley-Davidson, and they really hooked me up".... Oh the irony in that statement. Every time I go there, hooking me up is with a meat hook attached to my wallet. Sorry, I love my bike, but the Motor Company just sucks you dry every chance they get. I am, however looking at this helmet. But for $250, this should come with the pinlock shield and the chin block. My Nolan came with both in the box at no additional cost. These two items alone will add about $50 to an already pricey brain bucket.
I have the same helmet, I love the look, but my visor fogs up like crazy, that’s the only down side for me . Im going to have to try out the pinlock lens.
Hello from Pueblo,Colorado! Great review! I was on the fence about this helmet but after your review i bought one for my wife and me! I can't seem too find your link on where to buy the smoke shield and pin lock shield. ?? I'm not too computer savvy lol! I wanted to share this with you also about cleaning and caring for your helmet and shields and bike for that matter. Look into "bug slide" this stuff is amazing! It has uv protection built into it also. Its like franks red hot to me. I put tht shit on everything lol! Finger prints dont happen and dirt and bugs just wipe off. I bought a 2010 ultra classic and the windshield was older. I was going to replace it. I put this stuff on it and it rolled the clock 6 or 8 years on the old girl lol! Anyway thanks a million you helped me a great deal. Hopefully i helped you with the bug slide. Can't wait for the next video!
Hello Pueblo Colorado! Thanks for the kind words! Sorry it took so long for the reply (working on a TON of upcoming stuff) but here is the link for the helmet: amzn.to/2DYZfUu pillock: amzn.to/2KzVtkM shield:@t - but thanks for the suggestion on the bug slide stuff - will have to check that stuff out!! Many thanks and thank you for being a fan!
The wind noise isn't bad! I can hear my radio clear as a bell and can communicate via my sena without any trouble as well! Compared to my other carbon fiber full face its way more quiet. Hope this helps!
I can’t see how I can insert either of the two mount options that come with the Harley cable headset for the Ultra Limited? There doesn’t appear to be any gap between the outer shell of the helmet and the fixed neck foam to insert the inner part of the microphone mount. Do you have use brute force or is the UK/European version different from the US version?
lincoln m02 modular helmet - lcs98306-17vx I Purchased This Helmet Local Harley Dealer. Looking for some Help Getting Pinlock ready shield and anti fog insert Any help on part # to order what will fit this helmet thanks
Deborah Graham thanks for the comment!! But airflow is great - not a lot of head-bob from this helmet, also keeps the unnecessary wind noise out pretty well but I can also hear my radio just fine! But I ride a 2016 HD Road Glide Special
Hey! Thanks for commenting - but I went with the clear pinlock on the smoke shield - I also have a clear/clear setup for when there is weather at night too.. I just keep the extra shield setup in the helmet bag and make sure it doesn't vibrate in the saddlebag and create a wear spot on the shield!
Hey Linda! No it does not, I purchased the SENA 30K separately and installed it into the helmet (great buy if your looking for a bluetooth module for the helmet)
I’m going to buy that helmet that’s how I was looking up the helmet because I want that one but the burgundy one with blk. and saw the mic. And definitely need the Bluetooth mic, did you make video yet how to install?
Cool! Make sure to check out the link in the description to take you right to the item! But I plan on posting up the video very soon to the SENA 30k - but in my opinion it’s the best Bluetooth on the market currently (also have that product linked in the description too!)
This is crappy helmet. Base plate broke....clasp on faceshield broke all within 6 months of owning it. Hjc QUALITY NOW IS JUNK COMPARE TO THIER OLD ONES. WILL NEVER BUY HJC HELMET AGAIN! $200 is $170 too much for this crappy crap

Hi, man! I just bought an HD HJC HD-24 OEM Helmet and yours comments really help me a lot! Tks from Brasilia, Brasil.

I have the same helmet, I love the look, but my visor fogs up like crazy, that’s the only down side for me . Im going to have to try out the pinlock lens.

Good review. Considering the HJC IS Max 2. Curious what the wind noise is like being most modulars are a bit noisy by design. Any insight on that?
The wind noise isn't bad! I can hear my radio clear as a bell and can communicate via my sena without any trouble as well! Compared to my other carbon fiber full face its way more quiet. Hope this helps!
Does the Capstone helmet come with the pinlock shield or do you have to buy that separately.
Hey Doug, it did not come with the pinlock shield, had to purchase that separately..
I can’t see how I can insert either of the two mount options that come with the Harley cable headset for the Ultra Limited? There doesn’t appear to be any gap between the outer shell of the helmet and the fixed neck foam to insert the inner part of the microphone mount. Do you have use brute force or is the UK/European version different from the US version?
Great Review bro ty..

nice job!
Wondering about noise, and airflow... what bike do you ride?
Deborah Graham thanks for the comment!! But airflow is great - not a lot of head-bob from this helmet, also keeps the unnecessary wind noise out pretty well but I can also hear my radio just fine! But I ride a 2016 HD Road Glide Special
Could you do a breakdown of the pads & are they machine washable???
JP WAGERS sure thing! Will work on that next, just give me a little bit of time to shoot & upload!
I just got me the same helmet would like the information thanks 👍
Absolutely! Don’t blame ya! But good pick for helmets, really enjoy mine
Did you go clear with the pinlock or match the smoke?
Hey! Thanks for commenting - but I went with the clear pinlock on the smoke shield - I also have a clear/clear setup for when there is weather at night too.. I just keep the extra shield setup in the helmet bag and make sure it doesn't vibrate in the saddlebag and create a wear spot on the shield!
Does the mic come with the helmet?
Hey Linda! No it does not, I purchased the SENA 30K separately and installed it into the helmet (great buy if your looking for a bluetooth module for the helmet)
I’m going to buy that helmet that’s how I was looking up the helmet because I want that one but the burgundy one with blk. and saw the mic. And definitely need the Bluetooth mic, did you make video yet how to install?
