Helmets

Re: Helmets

Sir, what is the difference between a scratch-proof visor & a scratch-resistant visor & an Anti-scratch optically corrected shield (it is one of the features of SOL helmets).

are the following terminologies applicable to both clean & smoked visors ??

Most modern helmet visors are made of polycarbonate, which is prone to scratches and surface damage. Earlier, cheaper helmets used plain acrylic sheet which was fitted to a curved guide, which kept the acrylic in a curved shape. Modern Polycarbonate visors are thermoformed directly into the shape required and hence do not require a guide/frame to fix the visor. However, thermoforming a visor into a complex curve normally results in distortions in the transparency. Optically corrected visors are specially thermoformed visors that do not have distortions and are very clear optically. This process is expensive and very few companies have the resources and expertise to produce them.

I am not sure if anybody claims scratch - proof, since it is nearly impossible to make a polycarbonate helmet visor scratch proof. It is however possible
to harden the polycarbonate (PC) visor surface with a certain coating which makes it harder to scratch - not impossible. These are called scratch-resistant coating. The latest helmet visors also have a UV protection coating, which protects the rider's face from sunburn in extreme sun.

Re: Helmets

Can any one suggest a good lock for my helmet. Quality is priority for me.

Carry your helmet along (tie the helmet strap around your elbow). If you dont want the "Curios ones" checking your helmet and you end up with scratches on your Visor (Bang has plenty of em)!

P.S :
Great deal you got for your LS2 man! I got mine for 2800/- (after bargaining) price quoted was 3250/-. (dont remember the name of the shop at JC Road, though Balaji quoted 3.3k for it !)
One of my "noobad" friend bought a Phobia for 4000/- , says he's not comfortable with bargaining. And i was like, Dude !!! 4K ??!!

Very true,, Bangalore crowd is really inquisitive. I'd prefer carrying my helmet around rather than getting unwanted scratches

I got my LS2 'Lunatic Fringe' for 2400/- INR form Adeshwar. Price seems to have gone up.....

PS/Sad Part - Now that Sunny Sir has pointed out the fraudulent character of Adeshwar, I feel really bad to have bought from him No wonder, I did not see any SOL there. Helmet Paradise always sounded fraud. The Balaji guy behaved as if he is running a school/college, @#$*

Re: Helmets

After some one stole my LS2 phobia was stuck with a normal-horrible helmet. I did a lot of research on the prices this time as was low on cash & it really helped. Bought LS2 again though I had a plan of going for Studds, Vega, etc but just couldn't say no to LS2.

Coming to the point, got it for Rs 2,400 with 2 years warranty+VAT bill. I went to almost 6 shops at J.C Road for a helmet. The lease I got from almost every one was Rs 2,600. Then went to Megha Enterprises & got the deal for Rs 2,300 & told the guy I need time to think. Then went to a shop(A.N Enterprises) exactly opp to Megha Ent. He quoted Rs 2,400 and when I told him about MEGHA's price the shopkeeper told ,'Sir I will give you any helmet for free if you show me LS2 helmet bill at Rs 2,300(incl VAT) '. So I quickly rushed to Megha Enterprises and to my surprise the sales person completely backed off to his price saying that he said Rs 2,300+VAT of 14.5%. BTW first he also quoted Rs 2,600 and if you do Rs 2300+VAT then it comes to near about Rs 2,633. In whole world why would any shop guy increase the price when trying to convince the customer Man was so angry with that guy, & that shop is completely filled with liars. The owner was trying to lured me to buy that helmet by saying rupee downfall against dollar will result in 200rs increase on all LS2 Now where the hell this affects LS2. If I am correct LS2 helmets are manufactured in India so that was completely irrelevant.
Any way went to A.N Enterprises again & bought the helmet. Attaching the pics. No need for review as just like any other LS2 helmets-Sturdy, good finish, safe,etc

dear friend ,

LS2 helmets are a brand made by a company called MHR helmets in china ( which makes sparx , kbc hjc etc) .
on lalbagh road everyone keeps ls2 helmets but the only shops who have and give after sales service are megha enterprises , rydercity , helmet paradise and balaji palace)
the price of ls2 on lalbagh road is 2600 and above depending on various factors .
the said place opp megha is not a dealer and they buy from above helmet stores and sell .
AND IF LS2 IS MADE IN INDIA IT WOULD HAVE AN ISI , IT HAS A ECE ( EUROPEAN ) STANDARD .

My dad wears a cheap helmet that he bought from highway sellerd. Told him several times to change it and get studds at the least. And it didnt have any ISI thingy. Finally cops pulled him over and asked him to show his helmet. They said it doesnt have ISI mark so he will have to give his license and pay the fine and get it back but my dad gave rs. 50 as chai paani and left. He came home and was asking me, son what is ISI? Now he uses a studds that i bought for him after that incident.
Also, if you visit mahatrans.com its stated there that they are fining people using non ISI. Have no idea about ECE and DOT etc
