Re: Helmets

Members in the forum have vouched for Bachoo Motors earlier & it seems like they have indeed sold Airoh for that kind of a price; dunno' the underlying fact though if everything is genuine then Airoh for that price is definitely irresistible.


45$ ,, whoa ,,, gettin' lucky, eh?!!

That price is mentioned in their site itself ( Bachoo Motors ) .

If i can get that 45$ one i ll be lucky :P

Re: Helmets

Am planning to buy a Sparx helmet or a SOL helmet as they are in my price range( 6k) . I have checked out few guys who are selling SPARX here in Hyd but i was not convinced whether they are original ones or not. So asked my brother in US if he can get me one while coming back if i get any reply from him am planning to settle down to SOL ..

What you guys say ?

Does any one know any dealer for SPARX here in Andhra Pradesh or in South ??

What are your thought about AIROH which has the same price range ?

AIROH is pretty much so light weight and their construction is the really good, but I just didn't like their sizing, way too snugger than the mentioned size when I bought it. Perhaps it was a race spec helmet it was supposed to be that way.

SOL is a pretty good and cheap alternative for most budget helmet seekers, with even cheaper starting from LS2, Cross etc etc.

I'd suggest you to get a good helmet like AGV for Bell from US of A because they are pretty cheap to get when someone is there and you'll never regret buying any of these two helmet brands.

Final take, go for the helmet you like from US, you have lots of varieties, colors sizes to choose from.

Re: Helmets

I think I screwed up my LS2 a bit.took out all the washable parts and made some mistakes while refitting the cheekpads. The end parts which are to be slotted inside the lining are not aligned properly.
This cheekpad is sticking out.dunno why or what i did wrong.

You should better take it to a shop as was suggested by Sird .............. these are removable parts and they go back in pretty comfortably .............so it is better to get it done/learn under someone aware of it in your native place

The cheekpads are removable and there is nothing wrong if it comes out. It can be be removed and it should be placed by placing some pressure on the sides and they will slide in back. They are completely normal and they aren't a defect as such.

Indeed that small plastic thing that peeks out has a notch underneath which then locks the cheekpads in place with the side panels of the helmets.

Push it inside with enough force and it will slide in, automatically.

Apply pressure evenly and strongly around the rim so that it goes smoothly, not just on one side, if you know what I mean. Even pressure, with little force thoroughout the side arc where the pad has popped up.

it would be better if you could check the size by actually wearing the helmet.. that way, you could select the size that's most comfortable for you..
if you are buying from an online site, buy from the one which lets you exchange the product in case of size misfit..

see, by your calculations the head dia comes to around 58. it would be better to go for L.. you yourself said you don't want to go for tight fit and for M, it would be like that..
