        In Bangalore, LS2 helmets are available in almost all the stores on LalBagh road.. For directions ask around for Urvashi theater and you'll see loads of helmet shops around it..

          @Sunnyside_up!
          It would be great if you could provide your comments on this bit.. Thanks once again in advance..
          Vijay has pretty much nailed it, except that I do use mine even for high speed jaunts down the highway on my Ninja 650r - no issues so far. Of course as he also pointed out, if you are intent on crouching, a full face would be more suitable. What I like is the versatility during touring. The peak helps shield from the sun, rain, etc., while also protecting the visor from debris in an off road situation.

              Hello Guys !

              Read some where that using Yellow visors increases visibility [MENTION=6010]Night[/MENTION] when its raining.

              Is this info correct ? if so is there an option of Yellow visor for LS2 ?

                Basically yellow lights are used in foggy weather as an extra headlamp as it provides a better visibility to the other vehicle. you see those flood lighting on streets and highways, I mean those vapour lamps, they are too yellow ............. that is the funda here ............ therefore using a yellow visor won't serve the purpose to you because a visor acts as a receptor and not a light source.

                  Any tinted as opposed to clear *ANY TINTED* visor isn't approved for night riding. Personally it's just a compromise for yourself and fellow motorists.

                  Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
                  The girl said, 'NO!'


                  And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

                    You got it from eBay. Isn't it ?
                    Those yellow shade glasses ?

                    Search for Gunnar Glasses. They make Glasses for pc gamers to protect eyes from rays of continuous usage.

                    So its just that you won't feel blind with someone coming towards you with bright light like HID and high beam on.

                    The yellow tint will then help your eyes from getting blind.
                    But its just till you have good street lights.

                    Remember, nothing gives good visibility than naked eyes. Right ?
                    So no other Visor also can give better visibility in night than a transparent glass.

                        Hi everyone, I want to buy a new helmet, I have short listed to Studds and Steelbird, LS2 will keep it aside as I did not like the graphics and think it's too much graphic. . . Which according to you should I go for with the two. . ? I wanted a fully covered sports helmet with half open, I saw in both Studds and Steelbird, which one you would suggest me. . ? Thanks in advance. . .

                              LS2 come without graphics too, I think you should look out for a new shop if you are yet to find a LS2 with zero graphics. LS2 helmets are ECE rated while Studds and Steelbird are ISI rated, so they altogether belong to different class of helmets.

                              Read the following blog as it may help you understand the "basic" significance of different helmets. Introduction to different types of Motorycle Helmets | Bike Chronicles of India . This may be of great help to you in deciding the kind of helmet you should choose because "a fully covered sports helmet with half open" is not a clearly defind terminology for a helmet.
