Re: Helmets

Which is more suitable and comfortable for touring? LS2 Arrow or LS2 CR1 ?
Have chosen LS2 brand as parts availability is very easy.




If anyone can help me source KBC Magnum Visor base plates and visor, I will find you and give you a nice treat.

Re: Helmets

I would any day want much safety but I should not hate it because of the comfort it offer hence I am looking for something which can offer me .

As told earlier I too wear glasses and from starting I am using full face helmets never felt uncomfortable, in case of new helmets paddings takes some time to break in. MT helmets have snug fitting and provide good protection, KYT are also good but lacks finish. I would say you will get used to full face helmets but if you create an image of being uncomfortable beforehand then you will not be able to wear it for long.

Re: Helmets

I have glasses for 2decades now and riding with them with full face helmet for more than 10years now. Its only matter of time that we get accustomed to it.
[MENTION=11949]utsav[/MENTION] : What happened to Redline Racing and Prs mumbai?
stay away from LS2 as there authenticity is still an issue, sol/mt have been in the market fir sometime now and i guess the parts wont be a problem.

Re: Helmets

Someone was asking me how to attach the cam to the front of the helmet.
My answer: Mseal

The hook on the right side is still present.

It comes with helmet mount but not all helmets are the same.
This is my second mount position.
The cam was on the side earlier.
I still have not gone out with this.

I am using SJ4000 for my motovlog videos. Its nowhere to be compared with gopros but in less than 9k you get everything so no complaints.

They dont come with specific helmet mount but you can make one with provided mounts. If you check my channel www.youtube.com/pratthebrat you will.find my motovlogging helmet setup. That might give you an idea. And head to the action camera thread,loads of pics and videos there.

Re: Helmets

Back in Jan, I had posted about the THH T-76 Scorpion helmet that I had bought for my sister off PayTM.

Had also bought a THH TS-41 Orange Bull back then but had gone AWOL before I could post about it after clocking some miles using it.

I realize THH is not a recommended brand here and I respect those views. I would have myself looked at the Kranos series as it fit my budget but THH's offering undercut it by more than 1.5K owing to discounts. Moreover, the other contender, the venerable Shifter, wasn't available anywhere in my city and I had to order it online as well. So went with the THH in the end.

Coming to the helmet, I have talked/compared its fit in the post I linked in the first line. But to summarize, it's a free size (59-61cm) and it fits me extremely well. Wind noise is fantastically minimal at even 90kmph, something that was present noticeably in the T-76 model. The liners are removable, quality seems fine, D-Ring's there, visor clarity is pretty good and the ventilation points are alright. The fit in fact is so snug that on a long ride (the only one in fact since the time I bought the helmet), my left ear started paining after around 3 hours of continuous use. But that is not something I would hold against it.

I bought the Orange Bull version of the TS-41 and it comes with a matte finish. I'll be embarking on another long ride next week using this helmet.

Some pictures!

Re: Helmets

Brought the shifter for 1950 from Wellington Kolkata. Excellent build quality under 2k range, real or may I say genuine air intake ports on the hood which can be opened and closed, at 60+ kmph with intake port open, it sounds like an aircraft take off, close it and ur good til 80 kmph. Need the mirror visor but due to unavailability couldn't buy it.

Mt , build quality is top notch, u need to feel it to believe it, paint, padding, double d straps all are good quality. The air vents click rather than just slide.

Re: Helmets

Any Idea on this Steelbird Air helmets(For City/everyday uses only). MT blade will b used on highways.
Take a look, it seems quite good.
