Re: Helmets

you may take a look at the SPG's web ............. they have listed four shops in Bangalore ........... call them starting from the nearest one to your place !!

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----



why would you need one when you already have got tinted visors ?? The tinted visors work pretty well during night with proper street-lighting and in the daylight they are like "ooo-la-la" .

I think the one which I saw wasn't tinted or was it. . ? Errrr don't exactly, do they actually come with tinted Visors. . ?

Cheers!!!

Re: Helmets

If they don't why not buy one !! keep the stock one in spare ............ it is always advisable to buy spare visors

@thegeneboy It will be so nice of you to share with us a few pics of your newest possession ............. if possible snap them in daytime

Re: Helmets

My new Bell Star Spirit..arrived a couple of days back. Sorry for not uploading the actual pics of the helmet but am pasting some from the online store (motorcycle-superstore) that I got it from.



Fantastically comfortable and good fitting helmet. Reasonably priced as well. Build quality is so awesome that I can probably never buy anything apart from Bell.

thanks for routing me here--

Fantastic to say the least

& yeah bell rocks

Bought new ls2 ff350 for 2.9k.guys need some tips to maintain iridium visor.

Re: Helmets

Nothing special as such. Don't use any chemical solvents as such in cleaning the visor. Water and soft cotton fabric is more than enough. Use a little soap to remove bug trails and stubborn stains. Same goes for all visors.

Use Colin for the said purpose. It is a mild soap solution, works well and it easily available in the market. Use a micro fiber cloth to wipe it clean.

I got the exact same helmet with the same visor about 4 days ago. I will be changing the visor as the paint has started to peel off and also it ismt suitable for night rides.

I rather have a different opinion here bro, mine is almost 1.5 years old now, and the helmet has served me well, kept the wind noise to a bare minimum on speeds below 90kmph, above which there was wind noise, i think most helmets other than the big dogs have that problem, the padding quality is still top notch, no problem, I am not having any loose fitting problem too, the padding is kinda snug, I say kinda because, over the year of usage it is supposed to free a bit, but not to an extend that it wobbles around when i shake my head.

The only problem i faced was that, I had the problem with the tinted visor paint peeling off , and after a crash the lock holding the visor on the left side had a crack and that increased the wind noise too, but i changed that and it vanished. I changed both the visor and the lock mechanism. The lock mechanism costed me Rs250/- a pair. And the visor near 500Rs.

I had the plain visor of Daijya fixed, as the shop din have the ls2 plain visor in stock.



P.S: Guys, is there any difference in the quality of the daijya and ls2 visors ? Any difference in quality ??

Re: Helmets

Ok so here what I noticed.

LS2 Phobia.
Build quality and design is absolutely price worthy.
The padding is of top quality.
Each mm of Visor is perfectly fit. Not even a bit of air leak.
And yes it does not moves with the Air flow till 80-90 and 100 with no air flow towards you.

For city ride, the helmet is definitely worthy.

Air flow, Wind noise according to speed.
Tested on Pulsar 220.
Bike riding position : Crouch on Tank.

As per speed :
80-90 : The air noise is not much and it's a good thing to ride on
90-100 : Noise Starts hitting your ear.
100-110 : Noise is still tolerable but yes hitting the ear drums continously.
110-120 : Feels like direct air going in Ear and you cannot hold it for long time
120-130 : Hard to ride in that position / speed with that wind in ears, wind noise and helmet going left & right even if you move your head a inch or two.
130-140 : Wind noise like no helmet (but no helmet is really more annoying, I'd done 134 in 2010 in my noobie days) and weird sounds hitting the ear drums.
140+ : Man ! It was some truck is honking next to me and I had to see RVM again & again.
Wind noise was at its best but the honk kind of noise due to over wind.


So I'm not saying the helmet sux.
It's a pretty decent helmet for its price.
Obviously the speed I mentioned hardly people go on that speed.

So it's just that if someone is going to be a router or revver..
Then Don't get this helmet or get the ear noise plugs too. !!

For city riders, its a good to go helmet helmet.

Ya I've heard of people saying the Chrome finish peeling off.
Mine just got some scratches.
And most of them before of those flying stones that hit the visor while I'm riding.
And at that moment I feel so good that I'm wearing a helmet.

But the time I bought it the padding were proper fit but now have space for my fingers even.
Mate bcoz of over sweat in Mumbai the padding got affected.
Buying a Balaclava soon !
