Shifter, speaking with 1100kms experience of delhi-neelkanth and Delhi to Agra on 200ns with speeds above 120 all.time.,do note that above 80, wind noise is a problem.in.long touring.,but earphones will help cutting down noises to 90% ,also shifter is new and has dual visor, a very good thing.

Among the two helmets mentioned by you, buy Shifter. Its a newer helmet and has dual visors.
I would suggest you to increase the budget slightly and take a look at vega axor.

I can stretch my budget easily but somehow visors on previous helmets do not last very long and i had to keep buying them again and again. I own a steelbird GP one and its visors are hard to get even there is steelbird factory in my area .
So i m bit worried of buying helmet and using it without a visor most of the time .This is the only reason i m looking for studds

studds shifter is far better then Vegas axor which is a cheap copy of ls2.

Outside visor costs 200₹. If you can stretch budget to 3800₹, buy MT helmet, if you can't, then.buy shifter.

My suggestion to you and a habit that I personally follow is to keep the protective film that comes with the visor always in the cloth's pocket. While not riding, I'll stick the protective film to the helmet visor as soon as I remove the helmet. By this way, the visor will be less vulnerable to scratches. I've been using a helmet for 6 months now and still the visor feels brand new and haven't got a slightest scratch to it. And Studds shifter is far better than Vega AXOR.

If you can easily increase your budget, why not go for better ones???

Re: Helmets

I was looking at bluetooth kits for Helmets. The good brands like sena are really expensive at 6k, and the chinese ones on ebay start at 3k.

I was wondering if anyone has used the normal samsung bluetooth headset which comes for 500 rs inside a helmet. I only need this for navigation so, a mic is not necessary. Has anyone tried this?

Thank you so much. Silly me I didn't notice this lock before. I've managed to get the removable liner out of the lid easily and after the cleaning, I couldn't get it in like it was before. It's not fitting in perfectly. What is the proper way of fitting it back to the lid?

Re: Helmets

Hello guys,
I own a Vega Shadow Helmet bought 2years back . Now the thing is my visor is all messed up with scratches and its impossible to ride on with visor on ! I tried almost all authorized Vega and general dealers for new visor but all advised to get a new helmet as these helmet are not manufactured nor imported anymore ! I shooted a mail to vega India got the same response ... So can anyone of you guys can give me some idea/jugaad for this problem i am in... It would be a great if anyone could give their inputs .

Thanks
