Helmet lock

I've been looking out for a good helmet lock to tether my Airoh Speedifre full-face to my Pulsar 200 DTSi


Since I already have a fiber clamp-style fixed to the saree guard (which doesnt secure over my new lid)
I'm thinkin of buyin a cable. Which one's better- the key lock or combination lock?

Store guy tells me the former has a tougher steel cable and is better. Let me know if there are better options in Mumbai or on the web...though found some imported stuff on ebay that was overpriced.

Cable would be good idea (still convulsing from Prateek's answer to your question ) All that said and done, fiber clamps can be removed along with the helmet with just a spanner and screw driver, at least cable is a bit safe, provided they are good quality.

ROFL! May maggots infest you.

Hehehehe the reason I said so, if I can break those, imagine what those experienced thieves can do. Honestly, I prefer not to keep our helmets in open due to various reason, first being stealing, then in open we dont know what all has entered into it etc etc

Exactly. Moreover it's owners pride! I myself happen to remove a helmet lock just by jiggling it unknowingly talking to a person and suddenly it came out of the grab rails. Blushed, I was in a fuss and in hurry to just keep the lock it in its place, unlike nothing has happened. Finally just kept it on top of the rail, and came back quietly. So, yes, you're right.

Yes LS2 PH is a slightly different. There are certain meshed vents in the LS2 Phobia which aren't present in the Piston Head, plus there are some vents in front which differ from Phobia and Piston Head

Yes, Prateek is right. Moreover, vinbex, they had these range of helmets when they had their collaboration with AGV. But I guess, (might be wrong) read somewhre that AGV is planning to bring in their own line of helmets as a spin off strategy from MPA, though a little costly, I guess it should fit the bill.

You got company Nithesh. I just got the same helmet in Orange/Black from Spartan Progear in Chennai to go with my KTM Duke, great stuff. Now I have to get used to it as I have never used a full-faced helmet before. With all the intake and extractor vents (18 of them I take it) I don't forsee any problem, plus I just love the optically-corrected visor with its multiple (6 positions I think) positioning feature.

[Horror]

Could somebody explain to me what an optically corrected visor is??

Could somebody explain to me what an optically corrected visor is??

When light passes through any transparent/semi transparent medium, there will always be diffraction(and or refraction) of the light waves/photons (wave theory or particle theory, whatever floats your boat). As such all glasses/magnifying lenses or visors (in this case) will have to deal with this problem. The idea is to design the visor in such a way that the light waves are not distorted when they reach your eye. If the design is very bad, you could see the objects in a size much larger/smaller than they actually are. This could also mean that you will have to keep re-focusing if there are abnormalities on the visor surface. When this happens on the surface of your eye, it is called myopia or hypermetropia (long sightedness and short sightedness) and you seek a doctor's advice to get glasses. These glasses based on the prescription actually refocus the light to correct for the distortion/loss of focus your eye is experiencing. But a visor is not a replacement for your glasses, but it would be a terrific idea to make visors with a +/- distortion for people with sight issues , but that's a topic for another day. So, the idea is to have a visor that does not refocus or distort your vision and that's what being optically correct means.

In plain layman's terms, this simply means a crystal clear vision, which makes you keep wondering if your visor is closed or open when you don't feel the wind in your face.
