The first piece of gear you should wear when on a cruiser motorcycle is a helmet. There is a type of helmet that only covers the top of the head and is referred to as a brain bucket. This is not the type of protective helmet you want. You should go with at least a three-quarters helmet to protect the base and top of your skull or even a full-face helmet for complete protection. Whatever helmet you choose, make sure it is DOT certified.
