Bell open faced:  http://www.thebellstore.com/Helmets/custom500.html
Davida Classic Jet would be good too: http://www.british-classics.com/Davida% ... elmet.html
Or you could go full-bore and slightly left of center: http://www.exclusivehelmets.com/
One thing I would not do is to actually use a helmet from the 1960's -- nowhere near as safe as a new helmet (at least as 'safe' as an open faced helmet can be!), and the interior padding will more than likely be shot. 'They' actually say that you should replace your helmet every 5 years, and certainly something from the '60s won't be up to the task - better to keep those ones on the shelf for display!
