Helmets

[lovish]

Finally could lay my hands on my SOL SL 68S-II metalman(orange/silver) on friday evening. The wait reaaly tested my patience.Had booked it on 18th of May. Full 20 days. phew. But happy to have finally got it. Had to make do with a Steelbird Adonis for some time after I realised riding without one might prove costly.
The helmet is awesome. The graphics are too good. Very Neat. And Bright. The quality is very satisfying indeed. THanks forum members for all the info and help.Couldn't have gotten a better visual match for my Duke.Had to spend a day to figure the belt fastening mechanism though(and I am an engineer).

The padding is a dampener however. The cheek support is good, but the padding on the top leaves a lot to be desired. An good LS2 has better padding IMO. Could have been better there.Or may be I should go and check other SOL lids to make sure if it's missing by mistake or something.
Also, the guy told me the helmets come with 1 year warranty. True? The leaflet/manual doesn't mention anything. If it does, what is covered under it? The dealer did not have any idea on this.

PS: the AH helmets outlet in Oshiwara is so inaccessible owing to the Mumbai traffic that it took me atleast 2 hours to reach the place from Vikhroli west.
@Sunnyside_up! : please find an authorized dealer in a saner part of Mumbai. How about Navi Mumbai?
And the helmet has already been dropped once and has a small chip to show for it

Where are the pics dude ?? Waiting for them.... and how much you paid for it ??

No one here will recommend a half helmet nor approve of you riding your bike without one.

LS2 Dealers in Navi Mumbai/Mumbai

Hi guys,

Kindly help me with authorized LS2 dealers here in Navi Mumbai / Mumbai.

SOL India offers the one year international warranty in India too against any manufacturing defect. If you have any issues with the helmet which is quality related, you can send in the helmet with the proof of purchase (invoice) to get redressal. The warranty is limited to repair or replacement, depending on the issue. It is important to retain the invoice however as the company will not entertain a claim without it.

This warranty obviously does not cover damage due to use and/or abuse! .

Thanks a lot. Will check it out today . I know since you have suggested that place with utmost certainty, I shouldn't be asking you this but still: The LS2 there will be genuine? I mean I don't to bother to do a thousand crosschecks and re-enquire about stuff?? And what about the bargain deal there?

PS: Left you a PM. Pls do check.

Try the studs ninja and vega boolean. They are modular type helmets.If you dont like them you can try open face helmets in studs and vega.

The ls2 store now open for business at Laxmi Auto J M road,next to adidas showroom Pune.
Also available other helmet brands

i visited this showroom yesterday, its really nice. it is a branch of laxmi automobiles at nanpeth, who are the distributor of CROSS & LS2. nice collection of helmets of CROSS & LS2 and vega and few other brands also. the guy is very helpful and nice. he said he will also give some discount on MRP and if purchased in group, like 3-4 together, they can give good discounts.

really sad that a new helmet is giving you such a problem,so what was the final word with the champions sports owner?

i did not pursue the case as i didn't have time to do it. champion sports refused to refund. but now we have the above mentioned better option to buy helmets from.

A big mistake from buying there, you not only paid the maximum cost of helmet in city but also got a duplicate one. If possible revert your transaction and take the money back. Please avoid this shop. Btw how much did you pay for your cross helmet?

since your remark, i was disturbed a lot. so i finally went to the above mentioned place and the guy said that they only supply helmets to "champion sports" and the helmet is indeed an original one. but nothing much can be done with that padding part.
