Require some help on the following.

http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/universal-threads/4790-helmets.html

Though I have posted it in the forum, I am repeating for you all.


My budget is around 2k-3k but if required can extend it.
I have only found two STUDDS here on last Saturday (08-May-2010).
All AGV, LS2, VEGA ruled out. Not available at all. Rest are all CHINESE.

STUDDS PRODUCT LINE-1 - The Helmet Shoppe

STUDDS Scorpion Sport @ Rs 4200/-
STUDDS Downtown @ Rs 2500/-

Tried both of them on my HEAD. Downtown felt good and comfortable.
Previously I used STUDDS Schuberth Golf.

Is it safe to go for STUDDS Downtown? This does not have a lower CHIN guard extension though Full Mask(?). Any safety issues?
Moreover I am buying another STUDDS Cub for my better half for Rs 750/-

Any suggestion you can throw on this.

I repeat I am sorry to post this here.

Note: I have updated my Personal Details Westbengal xBhpians contact details

Hence you can Mail me or can send PM.

GUYS PLEASE HELP ME I AM A NEED OF YOUR HELP.
HELLO MATES,

i have a pulsar 180 dtsi ug2 with 17 inch alloy wheels.originally it came with 2.75*17 inch front and 100/90 r 17 rear tube type tires from MRF.

now after 30,000 kms i brought a new pair after some research .
front-r 15s front tyre 80/90 r 17 tubeless.mrf.
rear-120/80 r 17 mrf vyde tubeless.

now as i already saw personally to install tubeless tyres in a pulsar alloys which originally came up with tube type tyres i took the tubeless type as an upgrade.

now the problem is i was unable to find proper valves for my alloy wheel.i brought these but these are of no use.....as these are too big and the diameter is bigger then the original hole in the alloy wheels valve area.here is the picture.


now i know there are a type of valve that is available in the market which is smaller in diameter and looked kinda like this one.............

now the problem is i am unable to find a valve like this as a result i am currently running my new tubeless tyres with tubes and i am hating that.

please i need help gurus.
\availability of the valve i need.
price of the valve.
if any one can send the valve to my home in via courier i am ready to pay the expense. i am from westbengal.

Thanks METALHEAD,

At least you are the only PERSON who has at least replied my query.

But where will I get it in Kolkata DADA ????
In fact I have loved the LS2 & VEGA ones visible online.
Whatever be the choice of lid I will try it physically @ least once.

In that case will buy this new one but will use my old STUDDS Golf with a changed Visor for highway ride.

You wont get Sparx here in Kolkata. You can only get KBC at Manish's shop in Wellington for 5.5k and above. Then there are the imported MRCs and stuff which you can get within 2k. They are quite good and better than Studds. If you want Sparx in India you can check out this site .

Thanks a lot GUITARFREAK

You are spot on but these are exceeding my budget I presume.

Just now a friend of mine called me & informed that VEGA is available somewhere near KHANNA Cinema. Will move there in an hour to have a glimpse.

Cannot wait much since I'll be having my bike in THREE days probably.

@satyajit RC..............actually I think u were doing an overestimation of helmets with the kind of budget and brands u can use.I mean to say u can get same quality helmets at a much lower budget.They would be of Indian make and not internationally branded.Its just like buying the Hero Honda Karizma instead of Honda CRF230L.I use the Aaron Hybrid Decor,its features matches exactly the Arai Corsair-V.Its Indian make and is meets ISI specifications for safety standards.It costs only Rs.1200.Available at registered Aaron shop at Wellington.
I also have the Autogreen Speed which is actually a motocross helmet and it has features of Arai VXpro3.......except the fact that with the Arai product,air flow is much better.It also meets the ISI safety standards.It cost me only Rs.1000.
Bappaditya uses Rhino from Studds,also of Indian make ISI, costs Rs.1300, he also uses Aaron Ace whose air flow isnt very good, costs Rs.700.
Sunny the Konkal (dont be scared ) uses Aaron Hybrid exactly similar to my helmet minus the frills and a AMG helmet, whose standards I cant specify,he can tell better than me.

We all use Indian make Helmets whose quality by no means is substandard and they are all available at Wellington.But since you are searching for International brands, thus I cannot shed much light on that.

@Bappa.........Metalhead Ajosro bhaike ektu phone korey somoy,time,jayega,janiye dish please I am grateful, he is joining us.

Thanks MACH50 .
My sole purpose is solved only in this forum.
To be precise I wanted some answers that Indian makes are also quite good.
Finally I have also decided on these products. May be I will get some good ones of VEGA in and around 1500/- by Tuesday.

Thanks all for your support.
