    Its simple,where the Dot sticker is there(mostly rear side of the helmet extreme bottom) just try to peel out the DOT sticker with your nails,If its a fake DOT helmet you can remove the sticker with your nails,if its genuine you can`t peel out the sticker as there`s a lacqeur coat over the sticker

        only buy the helmet when DOT is embossed inside the lacquer.
        Where exactly? I'd like to learn to differentiate... im also looking for LS2 size M.

        Thanks,

          -> Love the shape & style of the helmet over my previous LS2 Crown.
          -> Very less/minimal whistling sound as compared to the LS2.
          -> Genuine DOT certification.
          -> My new found love for a "Matte Black" helmet
          -> Finish is excellent.
          -> Pretty sung fit and very comfortable for spectacles too.
          -> Double D-Ring lock mechanism.

            Biking Terminal Somajigudda has duplicate visors for this Lid. Bought one clear visor from him months back and had terrible experience as the glass refracts and it attracted hell lot of scratches. I want original visor. Checked with EastWins and they don't procure the older ones either.

                  • I have an odd question. If it is OT, apologies, moderator and do strike it off.

                    I have a 14 year old son and 8 year old daughter for whom I am trying to get good lids for some time but unsuccessfully.

                    Could anybody suggest some brands which have a children's range too? I would not mind spending good money for my kids...

                    Thanks.

                      There are many a foreign brand available as well, but those will be expensive and difficult to source in India. If you are going out of the country with your children, then you can try buying it there. But make doubly sure of fit.
                      Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

                        The problem is not the helmets, but the sizes. There are a few half helmets in India from Studds more or less like HD helmets, which will be good for your little daughter and a size S or XS for your son. The best way to judge the helmet is, I'd suggest you go for a reputed helmet shop in your local, along with your kids, make them wear the helmets and check for snugness and comfort from their side, because you don't want to make them uncomfortable for something what we would like.

                        Let them wear, and it's upto to oversee the fit, snugness etc.

                        P.S. This is definitely not an OT, appreciate the effort of making helmet wearing a habit right from early age. Kudos!

                        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.

                            Try Ajit Motors near Ashok Stambh (opposite Circle Cinema). He stocks all kinds of Vega Helmets. Even if he doesn't stock LS2/Cross, he can order one for you from Mumbai if you give him a confirmed order. The better option though is to pick one up if you happen to visit Mumbai / Pune in the near future.

                                Go to the shop, the guys there will guide you. But make sure the helmet fits properly before you make any payment. A good fitting helmet shouldn't move around over your head. Your hair and cheeks should move alongwith the helmet.

                                Opt for LS2 FF358 Helmet instead of LS2 FF350 if you feel that the fit is not perfect. FF358 gives you manual adjustment by pumping up the cheek-pads.
