Anyone using a 3/4 helmet?

I'm thinking of getting a 3/4 helmet for periodic use during hot weather. Whenever I've tried my old HJC half helmet, though, I've always turned around and swapped it for my full face one in about 2 minutes because the wind pulls it straight up off my head and chokes me.

Any of you 3/4 guys out there have any experience? Can you use a 3/4 helmet at speed on a Bonnie with no windshield?

I use a Nolan N42 with the shield up and have no problems.

I'm tried 5 or 6 different helmets and really like my new MAX 17S. The helmet is a modern styled 3/4 with an adjustible face shield. The helmet is steady at any speed and has little to no head lift. One thing I have noticed is the MAX seems to run a little small and I had to move up one size.

The MAX is DOT approved and inexpensive.
