Helmets

[neil.jericho]

Not yet man, I will go on Sunday. If I don't like it, I will go in for a low end Studds/Steelbird&then get the Vega high end from Bangalore.

Dude, check my post on the previous page, would recommend you wait for the new imported AGV's which should be coming soon man.

what is the solution for preventing scratches on visors on <2K helmets?
even scratchproof polycarbonates get scratched.

is there any coating / film that can be put on to prevent scratches?

thanks bro....that'll do it...

the reason why i asked about the visor is, i ride at night times....don't know how comfy it'll be?

just keep changing the visors.

while u clean them use a good solvent like collin, spray plenty of it, rub with hand and wipe in one or two strokes with a soft tissue. and then pray for the better.

for many helmets a plain visor is available for purchase. what helmet do you have? did you try with the shop where you bought it from for a plain visor?

@saif71184: Checked out Ninja 2G&3G today. Both have excellent padding&I felt very good in them. Fit is the best so far. Finish is also good, except that in some the stickers are tending to get loose. Build quality is fine for both. Cannot comment on the venting, since I just tried it on in the showroom! But looks like 3G seems to have more vents than the 2G.
However, I liked the 2G shape&internal button for flip-up better. Moreover it has the lower lining all around, so can be kept down on any surface without worries. Will try to purchase it tomorrow, as 2 other friends are also interested in the same/3G.
I'm still not convinced about the touring abilities of this Ninja, since it is a flip-up, so will use it for daily city use only. Going to try to procure the Vega high-end from Bangalore for touring. Will keep you updated. Thanks again for your inputs.

@jadhav92: Plain visor available for high end Vega at around 250 Rs.&tinted for Rs.350. Not sure about prices. RaviKiran will be going to check out Monday in Bangalore, you can ask him.

Welcome Bro, 3G is definitely better than 2G in terms of ventilation. Upload Pics of your new lid..and if possible ask for a spare 3G logo/sticker from your dealer, coz according to my helmetwaala they aren't lasting long .

I bought a cross from Megha Enterprises in Bangalore! awesome place to buy an helmet! Got a very good deal there. Also got a clear visor for the helmet! Thanks to gd76 for his reference, helped me big time! will post the pics soon!

Visit Megha Enterprises in Bangalore if ur looking for a helmet! They have good collections in AGV, Vega, Cross, also imported AGVs going for the same price as the sparx i think.. 7.5K-8K. Also they stock spares for mpa-agvs, cross visors and brackets etc. i found what i required and more over there! not to mention the very patient proprietor of the place who helped me with my selections.

Also a big thanks to Gautham (gd76) here on xbhp for all his help with my purchasing in bangalore recently!

No problem dude, you're welcome.

CHEERS,

@sarvajit, @saif: Is Ninja 3G better than Boolean. Coz i read in this thread that you discarded your Boolean. I will be using a helmet mostly in City and occassional touring. Your suggesyions will be very helpful.

[saif71184]

^^ Yes, in my opinion 3G is definitely better than Boolean (the problem with boolean is inferior padding and paint chipping off from matte finished one's) also ventilation is better in 3G (only thing is i dont like its mechanism and the stickering job) but for city-commuting its ideal.

Generally full-face helmets are recommended for touring for the chin-safety feature. I read some articles where chin-up helmets mechanism itself proved fatal and injured the riders in their crash...

Check out the shops @ G P Road. PIONEER / Sri Padam, shops near Hardeep do stock these visors..

Would cost you around 300 bucks..
