@riot - how much does the lid weigh ?

[lijok]

@Riot - is that an original Dainese jacket? wow.. How did you source it man? and thats a cool lid....

[sheelpriye]

Then All the helmets avaibale in Indian market are fake?

I contacted Mahalaxmi/Chopra in Delhi and when they uttered words like Nolan/Axo, what would your guess be?

Do you think a person with a 57k bike will buy a helmet of Rs 25k?

No and i very much think that i am a fool, thank you
I have spent 40K on riding gears to ride a 1k motorcycle

^^Which shop in India do you think stocks original lids?

Excellent lid.

thanks bro

@riot - how much does the lid weigh ?

It weights 1.5Kg

@Riot - is that an original Dainese jacket? wow.. How did you source it man? and thats a cool lid....

Its a Dainese D-dry, got it for 6kish price. Not sure if its original. But its very good. Its completely waterproof, I wear it everytime i get on my bike, even when riding to Market , been using it Daily Since last 2yrs and Its still going strong. Used a LOT in rains and water never got inside the jacket. Had a few minor spills wearing this Jacket and it served its purpose really well.

RST is a brit riding gear maker. They make all types of riding gears, from gloves, to jackets to helmets.

Mine is called RST Carbon star Chrome. Its a full race spec carbon fiber lid. totally worth every penny spent on it.
.

Thanks for the information, Now, I had a good choice, I liked this LID and would like to buy this one.

[anants_220]

by the way, does the strap buckle hold on good??

coz its just a push clip kinda thing right?

Its a double d ring.u take the strap outta both the rings,then thru a single one n then fix it in.Even if the clip comes out it dsnt loosen.

Great for that price. I got the exact same helmet in Jan for 3050/-

haha.im proud of myself now

@anants_20 nice lid but are LS2 Visors good at night?Aren't they mercury visors

this was the only one available.With my headlights on high beam i can use em at night with very little difficulty.

prs mumbai

Now Regarding Fake Lids what can we say we are India bound to be there. Now though Chopra is one of the oldest and does stock Good lids they stock Thai ones too.

Now you heard of Caveat Emptor(let the Buyer Beware) This is still a case in India unlike abroad.


But sometimes I prefer to buy lids from Showrooms itself may not have many options are may not be fancy but atleast can count a little bit on quality.

Overall we still have to be the ones Who will have to be careful in choosing lids. A ISI or DOT or any other Certified can help but in India when people don't spare the pharma industry selling expired Meds what can we say about Lids

prs mumbai

Yes,
this is where i bought my riding gears from, so in whole of India you just have one store which sells authentic stuff and so they charge a premium

wow... you are lucky... where did you buy it from? sorry abt the OT guys

[spiderweb]

herez mine. RST full Chrome Helmet. Paid 5.5k for it

Can you tell me where did you get that from? Its my dream helmet man, RST! I want RST Masai!!!

wow... you are lucky... where did you buy it from? sorry abt the OT guys

I can get you that for 5K, the Dainese D-dry. It comes in red, blue & green, not sure which color i can get you.
the made is pretty decent & had saved me from any sorta injuries since last 2 years.

@RIOT:

Nice lid there, and nice jacket too.

I got the same Jacket, same colour

@Sheelpriye: I believe that brands like KBC and daijjya (hope i spelt it correctly) cater to different market than the likes of Shoei, AGV, Nolan and Arai. Personally, I believe that these brands don't make helmets in the range of 4-5k INR, under which KBC and Daijjya falls. I think they KBC and Daijjya are budgeted helmets which are pocket friendly for middle class people, with very decent quality.

Fake is a word I would not like to use for them. If you would be getting a brand new Shoei for the price of 4-5k INR, then may be its fake 'cause I am not aware if Shoei makes helmets in this range! Otherwise, I believe KBC and the likes are just fine. They are a different market section.

Cheers
