Welcome to CF!
When approachin a car waitin to turn across your lane working the bars enough to move the headlight can make you more noticeable. Bikes are vertically oriented but our vision is horizontally oriented. That means we see movement across easier and quicker then movement up or down. A qick left right left to move the headlight or a quick swerve within your travel line (when safe to do so) can help. My wife says it even works for the person following you. She has noted many times that it will grab her focus when I do it in front of her.
Suzuki does also or at least used to. HD has had a hydraulic clutch since at least 05 on their tourin models. Have seen them on Goldwings also.
I agree with both Lucky and Rex on this one. I would also add that I would never buy a helmet mail order without first having tried it on in a store. Helmets vary in size, construction materials and shape. One model Shoei might fit well whereas another model (also Shoei) might not. And when shopping for a new helmet, it is a good idea to wear that prospect for 30 - 45 minutes shopping around the store if possible. This will give it time to settle in and any "hot spots" will show themselves. As an example, My wife really liked a certain helmet. When it came time for replacement, we just ordered a new one. Well, in the 3-4 years since the original had been purchased the company had changed things and the new helmet no longer fits the same. Now looking for "another" helmet for her (another $150 to $200).

If you can find her, the Country Seamstress is associated with a Vets group in the Tyler/Longview area. I will try to find her card and get back to you. You may be able to get contact info through the local Patriot Guard chapter.
