    Airoh - A tad bit higher on the price than Sparx but you'll never regret it. As I said, decide based on your situation of budget, time in hand & availability.

      Bachoo Motors ( Pune ) are selling Airoh @ 6800 INR /- Then i feel Airoh would be bang for the buck.

      Btw the Sparx helmet i saw at Amazon.com is being sold for 45$

        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?!!

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 ??

            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.

            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.

              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. Click image for larger version

                  Been lucky enough to keep my lid scratchless and shining since the last 8 months. Am worried he might scratch it unknowingly.

                          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

                          Warm Regards,

                            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.

                            Cheers!

                                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.
