Re: Helmets

Looks cool indeed, but why the aversion to full face helmets? A fall > 25 kmph can be lethal with these kinda buckets!

Completely agree. It may look cool, but helmet is for your safety. Strongly advice you to buy a full faced one.

Ouch! Damn I should have asked before ordering. But I do have a full faced helmet for LS2.



But everyone told me for cruiser bike open face helmet is good. So I went and ordered this. The retailer shipped the item already. So i guess I'm stuck with it.

Not to discourage you, but an open face helmet only looks cool. Anyways, you can use it for photoshoots. Avoid wearing it. Not only would it not provide protection to the lower face, it would be a pain is dusty areas too.

Glad to hear that you have a full face. In any case, if you plan to go on highways, never even think on putting anything else other than a full face. Not only will the half helmet not protect your face, it will also not be able to stop dust and insects from hitting your face. As others have advised, keep the half helmet for short sprints to market place or something.

Thanks I'll get the bike on Friday. I hope it won't look awkward since I'm only 5"5

If you've decided not to go with the open face helmet, you could refuse delivery or return the item. Snapdeal offers a 7 day no questions asked refund.

Edit: Oops, looks like I replied too late. I suggest you call Acebiker and try to arrange/exchange for a refund after you refuse delivery.

Re: Helmets

If I see one more post on ISI Vs. DOT/ECE/SNELL certification, I must admit I'll hafta cut myself off of this thread, sigh!; beloved xBhp.


Anyways, can anyone tell me if the Sparx visor is switchable with any other helmet; those ventilators are real handy when foggy?

i'd like to know the same too.but don't go for the entry level sparx.s07 I believe.they lack real air vents at the top.infact no intake/exhaust vents.sweats like hell unless on highway.at the price of close to 5k u want those vents.rest I agree on build quality and paint job.superb on those.

Any Helmet will look good other than Red & Yellow, according to my taste. BTW Fasttrack's a strict "no no" picture's been posted by fellow biker Snehith, few pages back. Maybe a Vega Axxor will do a better job for the price and now they available in fancy graphics/colors too.

PS - Visit Helmet paradise in Lalbhagh road for a wide range!

'cause reportedly its quality fails to fair.

Only if you tell your budget, members can help.

Replicated this diy I saw last year on team-bhp.

Hey ! That's a pretty neat DIY ! Would love to do something similar,
Mind sharing where did you get the device from ? And, I'm sure it doesn't work as a Scala/Sena/BT Next, but what does it do ?

I purchased it from local computer shop for 1400. And the headphones from Flipkart( Panasonic RP-HS46E-W Wired Headphones Price in India - Buy Panasonic RP-HS46E-W Wired Headphones Online - Panasonic: Flipkart.com ). There are plenty of other bluetooth receiver available on eBay. The one that was mentioned in the original diy was Bluedio( Bluedio I4 Bluetooth NOW Supports 2 Devices AT A Time With Voip Support | eBay ). I had no idea about Bluedio so I got portronics and it's working fine with both Android and iOS.

What does it do?
It does nothing but helps me to reach destination without halting the bike, removing gloves and checking directions again and again after every turn.
