Besides styling wise is there any differences? (I'm sure there are) If I was looking to shop for a helmet, lightness, breathability, comfort and visibility would help me decide as well. But for stylewise sakes I'd say the Icon Domain or the AVG S4.

How about some prices and weights:

AGV S4 = $150. Weighs 3 lbs, 9 oz.

Icon Domain = $250. Weighs 3 lbs, 12 oz.

Arai Profile = $450. Weighs 3 lbs, 8 oz.


Comfort, visibility, and breathability is pretty much the same: it all sucks for full faced helmets (hence I prefer 3/4 helmets, but not for winter)...

My opinion remains the same than. The Icon Domain definitely is aggressive but I don't know if you want an aggressive look.
The Arai helmet is nice but I'd like helmets to match the bike color. I mean you could go on the Italian bike and Italian helmet thing but I think a black theme would work best with the Duc.

I changed the Icon helmet option...
I think the first Icon helmet was a bit too distracting for most people, so I changed it to a more classic one that I can go for as well.

So, which of these three would you go for?

Hm, have you thought about a custom paint job? Some of these guys charge a lot but I bet you could find someone in your area with the skills & experience to do a killer job if you could tell 'em what you want.

Some samples:
