      The shop owner is a good guy to talk to. Knows the technical thing, and also does good business.

      I'd recommend him. btw, he's here on xBhp, by his shop name.

          No problem bro.

          Yep it does look good. Fits awesome too.

          Only thing is i dont know how good it'll look on the bike. This is supposed to be a racing class helmet, not a cruiser class. [emoji14]

                I got this from Pro Biker shop on bootee st in Pune. He had only this model of the sol 68s ii.

                I've given a map link of the shop in my post, below the pics. You'll find his details there. [emoji4] im on mobile so can't type more...

                    You mean like a hornet with a gas(trointestinal) disorder?? [emoji23] [emoji48] [emoji48] [emoji48] [emoji48]

                    Yeah.. I guess that'll do for now. Atleast till i can afford a good modular helmet. The modular Sol that i saw that day was 8k. And it was soh good.

                        Thats what you suggested before too.. And thats why i bought it.

                        If you had not brought up that subject, i'd bought a vega or studds. Not to mean those are bad, but this is much better.

                          The sales guy botched it up. I had booked the Marine and the guy booked Stone. Thing is, i booked it 1 month back. And i have the receipt bearing the color information.

                          What should be my course of action now? I am going to the showroom in sometime with the papers.

                            Threatening to cancel the booking if not corrected and putting forth a strongly worded complaint to RE is the best course of action. Don't be too polite with them but don't fight either. Just stay strong in your stand against this issue and don't budge for any reason.

                              Hey everyone; I have completed 1200 kms . First service is due in two weeks . Mileage is 36 in city. The problem im facing is a sound from the suspension.well im not sure if its from suspension because it doesn't occur all the time. Is it necessary to oil the screws and nuts by myself? If yes, what oil should I use? Im pretty inexperienced regarding these issues.. Any suggestion would be helpful . Thanks

The problem im facing is a sound from the suspension.well im not sure if its from suspension because it doesn't occur all the time.it gets a little disturbing and im thinking its from the dried up nuts and bolts near the suspension. Is it necessary to oil the screws and nuts by myself? If yes, what oil should I use? Im pretty inexperienced regarding these issues.. Any suggestion would be helpful . Thanks
