    Btw you might want to have a look at ninja 3g by studds itself, its better in terms of quality from 2g version

      Ignore this design of helmet at any cost its like wearing a opening face helmet which can block wind and thats it.
      You should go and see the quality yourself personally, you'll get to know what i am referring to.

        You said you are not into arguments and still you keep on explaining your "reasons" for modular helmet.
        Its your money,your head, buy whatever you wish for.
        And if you really dont like what people here are advising you, whats the reason of even asking?

                Hi Guys,
                After going through this thread, I decided to get myself atleast an LS2 to replace my old Vega. So here it is, the LS2 Cyber Warrior.

                The shopkeeper told me that the shell size of LS2 helmets is same, its just the inner padding that comes in different sizes. I thought M size padding would be perfect for me, but all the M size paddings he had did not fit into my helmet as the clip on buttons were misaligned. So I went with the L size padding, which was stock with the helmet, and was advised to wear a balaclava/bandana underneath the helmet, which I usually do, and it fits fine. Not too tight, not too loose.

                So what I want to ask is, just out of curiosity, has anyone fitted M size padding on their LS2 helmet?

The actual problem is one my friend told us that the padding of SOL is not value for money ...also recommended SPARX hornet .Please tell us which one is better ....

                    Sparx is a good choice to reckon with. SOL on the other hand is not the best out there, but fits the bill perfectly for those on budget yet affordable, funky, approved helmets. Sparx genuine ones are retailed by PRS and cost a bit more, but you can be guaranteed they are genuine products, rather than knock offs sold at a catchy price point.

                    Buddy, I appreciate the enthu, but posting the whole picture message just for a four word answer -- you absolutely have no clue how much difficult it is to read from a phone. Please tag just the message or just one pic if you really love to tag a pic. Next time, please don't tag the entire photoset.

                    "Mahn im lovong this" tell me, doesn't this look gibberish? You could have taken just ten seconds to type it correctly and post your thoughts.

                    Next time, refrain using SMS slangs, lingos and kindly use proper english. It's not very hard right, we all learned it in 3rd grade right.

                    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.

                        While at KBC, lookup the gun shot / gun slinger helmet in the VR 2 series, and the ex 400 dog fight helmet in Scorpion, just love those graphics!!
                        What about LS2?
                        Are they really good if budget is concerned?
                        I mean they have got nice features like HPTT shell.
                        Really worried because I am going to buy my first helmet, and I don't want to compromise with safety.

                              Graphics, decal or design is purely a matter of personal choice. If you feel like you have a choice to make another choice for the enlisted colors then choose the one you like. I mean, it's like persuading someone to purchase an underwear for the color which I'd like. I mean it's his ass that's ultimately in the line. Forgive me but I had myself cracked up pretty much

                              But ultimately the decision is yours.

                                Reminds me of a weird conversation between me and dad a few years ago when someone from my native (as per customs) after a marriage handed me a set of clothes as a gift. It included a shirt, a jean and under garments. Sadly, the chaddi was vermilion red and I refused to ever wear it. My dad then said, who'd see it anyway? Red or white, all it does is hide your ass!

                                Sorry for the OT.
