i prefer a full faced helmet. my budget is around 7-8k and i hail from delhi. i went to mahalakshmi auto, KB today but couldn't find anything to my liking.
where else to hunt for a nice lid and what brands to consider? i am returning to the world of bikes after 8 long years and need all the possible advice.

LS2 Helmets at Babloo Motors

Hi Fellas,

I visited Babloo Motors in Vashi, Navi Mumbai today and found that the range of LS2 FF 358 models he had were priced at 3,650 INR and LS2 FF 350/351 priced at 2,930 INR. I just feel as if it's a little over priced. Still can you people confirm and let me know your views on the same??

the FF350 could retail at a lesser price, for instance 2500/- i got mine for that rate.
And if you can bargain hard, you could get it lesser than that i guess.

As, Krish said, whereever there is LS2 you have the term "BARGAIN" goes synonymous with it. If you can bargain and/ or a bargainer, you can try your best bet. It's a shame I am not upto that bargaining level, ought to learn from you guys.

Cheers!

Bargaining is no issue! but for the same i at least need to know the lower limit and that was the whole reason of asking you guys. If I have a reference price > Bargaining is cakewalk! So any further views on the prices he quoted:
1. LS2 FF 350/351 - 2,930 INR
2. LS2 FF 358 - 3,650 INR
so as to ensure, for how many bucks can the bargain be made!

I have got the following QUOTES from various dealers in MUMBAI.

S9 Helmets (Goregaon) quoted at:
1. LS2 Pumping Model (FF358) will cost about 3,200 INR and
2. LS2 Non- Pumping Models (FF 350/351) will cost around 2,600 INR.

Way better than Babloo Motors.

Only Helmets (Mulund) quoted at:
1. LS2 Pumping Model (FF358) will cost about 3,200 INR (after discount from MRP of 3,500 INR) and
2. LS2 Non- Pumping Models (FF 350/351) will cost around 2,500 - 2,600 INR (after discount from MRP of 3,000 INR).

Also called AH Helmets and he is actually giving Pro-Biker Gloves worth 450 bucks free with both the versions of helmets and thereby quoting the price as:
1. LS2 Pumping Model (FF358) will cost about 3,500 INR and
2. LS2 Non- Pumping Models (FF 350/351) will cost around 2,800INR.
But he said, If I do not want the Gloves then the final prices shall be:
1. LS2 Pumping Model (FF358) will cost about 3,200 INR and
2. LS2 Non- Pumping Models (FF 350/351) will cost around 2,500INR.

So which one is a much better and trustworthy dealer and store? All of them are better than the previously mentioned Babloo Motors. Any preferences of choices that you people wish to suggest??? I am expecting replies specially from Mumbai xBHP people as they have experience with all these stores.

Looking for a bluetooth helmet in Bangalore

hi

i am looking for a bluetooth helmet in bangalore. anyone know any place where such stuff would be available?

also, is there any portable, high-pressure water jet system to wash my bike? there is a Bosch Aquatak but that requires a power cable and a water hose connection which are not present in my parking basement. hence looking for a more portable solution to wash the mud that is stuck on the bike.

thanks

Need Help!!!

Hey guys I have the rubber packing border on my helmet base has come off in some portions of the helmet due to regular usage. Can anyone help me out/assist me in getting it fixed back??


The adhesive coat has between the helmet shell & the rubberized border is gone off. I wanted to apply Feviquik. But I thought it might compromise with the integrity & rigidity of my helmet shell. Hence thought of asking here.

Things in mind are:
1. Fevicol
2 Resin based gum used to bond furniture.

Please assist. Thanks in advance

you can use a superglue. but me being paranoid about safety, i would replace the helmet instead of fixing it. no compromises here.

I dun think this part of helmet will aide much into safety. This lid is very dear to me as someone special has gifted it to me. Also about replacing the lid. My ICON lid is already on the way from US of A

Akshay is the issue with your Daijya? Yes even I've know some cases where the helmet rubber coming off. There is no sure shot solution. Because using rubber based solution will stick it temporarily, but when temperatures cool, the rubber based adhesives won't provide that much gluing power. It can easily be ripped. Using fevikwik is a good idea, but you need lot of them, and mind you, if it's a designer helmet, you might want to be careful, else it can easily ruin the design of the helmet itself.

But there is something called SUPERGLUE, not Fevicol, not Fevistick, it's superglue, very powerful, not used that though. If you can get your hands on them, then you're done with your helmet even if it's cracked in two halves.

But it's time for a new one! Waiting for the ICON and pics and review as always.

Cheers!
