Helmet dileama

Buying a Black Honda CB Unicorn. I love matte finish full helmets with reflecting visors like this . Heard names of studds, sol, LS2 but also heard that many fakes are there in the market. My budget is Rs2000 to Rs2500. Which Helmet of which brand do you think will come within my budget? More than that where will i get the original one in Kolkata? Heard name of B.P. Roadies at Shambazar.

Hello every one
My name is Mohamed Rashid T and i`m a Sixth semester B.com student under University of Calicut,According to our curriculum, we are supposed to perform a project work in our final semester,which includes a survey and can be done on any topic.I am thinking to perform one relating traffic rules with special reference to wearing of helmets by motor bike riders,My primary and secondary objectives are not decided yet.
Now my question is that is it okay for me to conduct survey on xbhp by starting a new thread ?
i`ll need about 50-100 respondents,if you are ready to participate,please send me a pm, along with your suggestions i shall be very thankful for your help and support and i shall acknowledge the same in my report.

It's a good initiative first of, most would gladly help. But make sure your post survey link just once and let interested members fill in the survey, in that way it's easy, effective and nuisance free. If you happen to ask everybody to PM, most of them won't be able to fill in your form.

Just post one link and forget about it, rest is upto members hands.

P.S. If you don't get the results you intend to even after posting, kindly please do not repeat the same thing asking for members to fill in your survey, just for the sake of thread integrity. Thanks

Cheers!

Thanks Sid, actually its such that one of my freind told me , during a fall the visor can break into you and hurt your face. So I was thinking a double visor would be safer.

I cannot comment about the visors from low- end Indian helmets but the ones that are used on most imported helmets are made of polycarbonate which is unbreakable. The ratchet systems of certified helmets are designed to snap or pop off in case of an impact.

Double visors just have an internal visor which covers your eyes acting as sunglasses. So if you want o go for dual visor, you can get Daijya(Rs. 4750), Nuvo(Rs.6000) or SOL(Rs4000). These are the full face helmets with dual visor.

I think basically the shells are the same in SOL series, it's just a little features here and there that makes the difference. But if you're looking for SOL, my favorite would be the SOL68S Dragon, kick ass helmet.

Love for matt colour is ok but if u buy a helmet with reflective visor its strongly suggested to keep a clear visor for night rides ..B.P roadies is a good shop you will find varried options for helmet there..my LS2(FF 358 celtic blue) came with just a ECE sticker(never tried peeling also :P) but it never seemed fake..

2.my LS2(FF 358 celtic blue) came with just a ECE sticker(never tried peeling also :P) but it never seemed fake..

Can you please elaborate the above points?
HOw much did it cost at B.P.Roadies? and what is a ECE sticker?

[B7ACKTHORN]

...a ECE sticker?

An ECE sticker is a safety standard which makes sure the helmet you buy is of international standards, unlike local egg shells (literally, don't start off a war please ) we buy out there. These standards set forth for the safety of us, riders.

Pardon me, but I'm a complete noob on this. How do u its an ECE sticker? Is it written ECE on it? Can you post a post a picture of it please?

Still this is a rough picture, but it gives you a picture of how it looks like, though different helmets have different type of engravings in them. This sticker can be seen at the back and of the helmet.
