  • Hi guys,

    I've read some 100-150 odd pages of this thread and am looking to get myself a LS2 helmet. I fixed out on FF358 Supra (Solid Black). Can someone help me identify places to get genuine LS2 helmet in Delhi. I've heard of Chopras and Mahalakshmi in Karol Bagh who offer a wide range of helmets, but I don't know if they have a background of selling duplicate/fakes. Can someone shed some light on this.

    Also, what's the current price running for the LS2 Supra?

    Considering, many people have also raised concerns on LS2's quality, Should I get it or is there any better alternative to it. I've also added Studds Scorpion to my to-check-list (http://www.studds.com/ProductDetail....348&itemID=346).

    Is an Indian make better than the regular LS2 helmet? Studds Scorpion costs around 1650.

    My budget is 3.5k (max).

    • Hi all...
      I am looking for an LS2 Asphalt (Size L). Since I'm settled in bhopal and not able to find any dealers in here, I was wondering if anyone could help me to acquire one. If yes, pls mention the charges involved (cost of helmet & shipping). Thanks in advance...

              Shop Helmets Online

              Check this website out, you can call them up for more queries or you can purchase LS2 stuffs directly from their website.

              Also there are a few LS2 helmets listed in eBay too, if you're comfortable purchasing it from eBay then go ahead.

              Statutory Warning On eBay, read a few threads!

              Cheers!

              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.

                  May I also suggest photo-chromatic prescription lenses which turn dark in bright sunlight?

                  Another easy and simple solution for riders who do not do much night riding is to switch to a tinted visor for daytime use, while you can simply keep the visor open in the night since your eyes are protected from dust and dirt by the prescription lenses anyway.

                  Did the second option back when I couldn't afford photo-chromatics , did the photo-chromatics when I could afford them, and as I grew older, switched to contacts.
                  I used to love the photo-chromatic lenses, started wearing them since my 12th std for a decade perhaps. It so happened that I broke my glasses and had to be without them for two days. It was only then I realized how much I had got used to them and my eyes couldn't take sunlight. Since then its clear lenses for reading or good old sunglasses if the glare is too much to bear. Luckily it(vision) has not affected my driving yet.

                      • Hi Guys,

                        I am looking for SparX Helmets here in India. particularly Famous Stars and Straps.
                        I have had a word with Performance Racing and in communication with the folks at SparX as well. But no luck.
                        Anyone has any idea where i can get those. Please PM Me.
                        Ride On,
                        Akshat

                          • Suggest you wait for the Sparx from PRS - or check with PRS resellers. You're likely to end up with a fake otherwise as a lot of them are in the market especially from Delhi.

                              The only way to discern whether a helmet is fake or is not is the guy who sells it, at least from my experience. Moreover, you can't know it yourself unless you see it in person or if you've used one.

                              Almost all the fake ones out there are so ditto, only the usage of them can paint a clear picture as to fake or not. But sourcing it from a well known retailer or LS2 branded helmet shops, if any, then you can be rest assured it's a genuine one.

                              That said, common sense plays a big role in identifying fakes.

                              Cheers!
