      My head size is 58 and ordered L. It fits fine, but looks big on the head though. Its got a nice adjustable sun visor and lot of vents. All in all happy.

      Cost of helmet including shipping and duty turned out to be 11K. Have clicked some pics at night but they aren't any good so just posting a pic off the net

      Need some advice.

      I'm going out of country for a couple of weeks and planning to bring back a helmet. Am in a fix on how do I do that since I haven't carried something like this before (bulky). I guess dumping in the baggage compartment is a big no no and would preferably carry it along with me in the flight. Now I would like to ask the folks who have gone through this route (carrying helmet with them) the dos and donts and any tips at all, basically their experiences...

      And will it have to have an airline tag as well? Security an issue? Do I need to show bills/invoice?

      Thanks in advance!
      I picked up Scorpion Exo 750 Carbon Black limited edition. Cost me 300 CHF which comes to around 14K. Its a great lid. The store owner who is a biker himself swears by it and he himself has one.

      Pics of both. Excuse for the bad quality.

          To be frank, I have no experience with LS2. Perhaps if you can tell me what all features it has including the specs, material and certification, we can compare.

            • Hey guys i am in the market for a new lid,

              * I want something for daily use.

              * Must not be too costly.

              * I ride a black r-15 so would like a black (matt finished) lid.

              I was thinking of getting a studd rhino, but it seems like its out of production.

              So what do you guys suggest?

                          check out Contact Us - The Helmet Shoppe closest station is Laxmi nagar station .

                          other option is chopras helmets in karol bagh , arya samaj road . closest station is jhandewala .

                          both are walking distance from station . try the first option 1st and bargain to atleast 2800 for the Ls2 dragon .

                          check out studds brand . they have 3-4 models of these open type helmets . though be warned in case of fall a full face helmet gives much better protection .

                            Thanks for the suggestion, this would be my second helmet for the relaxed rides my everyday helmet is a full face one.
                            Trust me buddy, i know the merits and really well thanks to a accident i had in 2008
                            here is the one i use right now

                              • Guys, I need the MPA-AGV helmet. Do they make it still? Even if its a no, are there dealers who have the old ones on their shelfs?
