Helmets

[Bladerunner]

OMG you have gotta ARAI Lid... that's freaking awesome man... Congrats buddy...

Hey thanks. I always wanted this one.

@ Bladerunner : So, finally an ARAI too in your kitty of helmets.. Could you post a pic or 2 displaying all your helmets.

Here you go. My next one will be a Shoei.

Super cool man.

I see you bought a tinted visor too. I'm sure the visor itself costs more than my helmet ~!

Ride safe.

Ya, the visor is for 2.5k lol.

Got the GP-One but the quality is pathetic compared to the GP-One i had,

don't know what to with this lid and it is a bit large too(which a balaclava can cure but we are approaching summers)

Nice to see a GP One being picked up by someone. How much did you pay for it ? Are they still widely available ?

Has anyone replaced the lid of their MPA AGV recently ?
What are the prices of a clear visor ?
What price is a tinted visor ?
Is it easy to switch between the two ? Would appreciate it if someone could explain how to switch the visors.

^^ Bump. Would really appreciate help here.

I got an MPA AGV 6months back near JC road (first shop to the left of the signal after Madhu's tyres) , prices of clear/tinted visor is around 450 bucks as mentioned by the dealer.
I am not a big fan of tinted visor, so cant comment on that

Vega will be the best deal if R15 is the bike..

Thanks varun, I will be getting the Vega today.

My next one will be a Shoei.

Visors

Hey guys,
How do you keep the helmet visors glare free. If I wash it with a wet towel (thoroughly) I find that the glare is increased. Just clarifying what I mean by glare, A light gets converted into a X of light on the visor. Thats the best I can do. I hope you guys understand.

Are there like permanently glare free visors. Which helmets would have these by default?

i don't think that can be eliminated bro , maybe jus reduced , using visors made for night riding , thats all ... else we just gotta live with it , makes riding in the night a royal pain at times , especially wen oncoming traffic uses their high beam very generously

@ Coffin On Wheels, varun_r15 and navnish. Thanks for your opinions.

Even I felt the same. Vega is just attractive. As I am commuting my R15, vega's blue eye seems to be an eye catcher on the road.

which shop are the vega helmets available ,also do they come with clear visor,

What I do is apply a very thin coat of polishing wax on the visor, the one I wax my bike with. This seems to allow the light to pass through without creating any glares and is very easy to wipe off the dust after a ride. I do this once a week and it stays clear enough to ride in the nights easily.

I use Waxpol, just for information.

You may use colin and clean the splattered bugs, they will dislodge more easily
wet tissues help too

Thanks man, I too dont like tinted visors but if they can be easily switched, it would make life easier.

No plans to buy another helmet man. I already have an old GP One in addition to my current MPA AGV. Was curious to know what price GP Ones are going for nowadays.
