nice lid bro ...whats the cost ?

[pritish]

Guys help me decide which is the best helmet among these.
Vega boolean-1.6k
Index-2k(looks awesome but no removable padding also, tinted visor)
studds ninja 3g-1.3k (but only black colour and no designs also)

I initially wanted to buy boolean, but the shopkeeper guy says its not a good helmet, it might break even if it drops from your hand etc etc.

Any other helmets available within 2k range ??
I want one which has a good design, and not too heavy.
movable chin guard, inner visor and removable paddings are secondary but preferred.

p.s. please reply fast, i want to buy it tomorrow itself

Well u can go for AGV(MPA)...it is not a flip helmet...full face...its light,negligble whistling at high speeds, removable paddings...and nice graphics...i got one ..cost me 2k...

ya i'll check it out. but i think he said agv with graphics is 2.8k !!
Is mpa as good as agv ? i heard mpa only manufactures the agvs and puts a higher price tag just for the brand name ?

@nand15: i didnt ask for any high end helmet, just told him my budget is 2k. he seemed interested in only imported helmets. agv, index, cross.
Didnt even show studds or mpa or vega until i asked for boolean

Anyway, does the warranty for boolean include any breakage ?? like intentionally dropping it etc ??

yup wen u say 2k , he would be tryin to get u to use tat fully , the boolean would come for around 1.3k . tats why he tried to sell u the AGV , index and cross , all good brands nonetheless . the MPA is good . MPA is india's distributor for AGV , so yes we do pay for the name tag .

Ok, i'll try getting mpa then
Does mpa have helmets with those tinted shiny visors ?? like the index ones.(not plain black tinted)

Had been to Lalbag road today (Helmet Hunting).. LS2 last bargained price 3k.. Helmet Paradise (the one opposite Urvashi main entrance)... He's not willing to go below this price

Me in a dilema whether to take if off for 3k cause people in chennai and cochin have got it for around 2.5k to 2.6k...

hii
in mumbai there r 2 place

a.a. helmets in goregaon link road and
Allibhai Premji Tyrewalla at lamington road

Here's one Bachoo Motor & Cycle Company. If you want more expensive stuffs you can try Performance Racing Store. They are both located just a stone throw away from each other.

HI
i went to allibhai premji....but i didn't find any good one...they had the whole range of vega...
& i live at tardeo...so i know bachoo & performance racing store ...they are 2min away from my home ...but i think this both shops are expensive
& my budget is only Rs 2000

hmmm... what was his quoted price ? , if u got someone in those places who can get it for u , then go for it .

[snehil]

my budget is around 3k.are ls2 durable?
or suggest something else.
no agv

3.6 or 3.8. I don't remember exactly.. Then I told him that people have got it for 2.6k elsewhere an all .. The next line he told me was "Sir ye to MRP hai. Aap select karlo phir discount lagega' (This is the MRP. You select what you want and then we'll give you discount)

So then I zeroed down to the black-gray LS2 and a Matt Black Cross..
The cross weighed slightly lesser than the LS2 one..
Then I went on to bargain for the LS2... The sales guy's price came down to 3300/- and mine went up to 2700/- and then he came down to 3000/- and didn't go down further..

hmmm... he came down by a decent margin there ... i think 3k is good for that lid, unless someone can send u one from chennai or cochin where it was lesser , include transportation into tat , u can't check the fit for yourself , or if u do go there to get it , then ur transportation costs , after all that if it still is cheaper , then yeah , it's worth the effort . ... jus my opinion bro .

Someone sending it from there or me traveling there will cost more than 3k.. in that regards taking it from here itself for 3k is logical..

But let me try and see if any of my friends are traveling to Chennai.. I'll ask them to pick it up.. Size will not be a prob na.. I checked it here today.. L was a little tight so I'll be going in for XL.. need to figure a way out.. Will update on any progress
