Helmets

[n_aditya]

Spartan ProGear - the SOL India distributors, just launched a few days back, an offer to buy-back used helmets - any brand in good and usable condition. Upto Rs.500/- for the old helmet when you buy a SOL from the 68s and SF01 series.

Is this offer available at Blore too? I have an old "coconut shell" full face ISI approved (LOL) lid which only does duty when i go for a haircut (a rare occasion now).

How long is the offer lasting? Has the shop in ECR opened?

Velcro sheets will be help !



May be you can use the ends of your old carpet for this !

the carpet looks much cooler than the other pic.. if you want to turn every head on the road

Can anyone suggest me a lid in range of 2.5k-3.5k

Anyone has any idea of customs if someone in UK sends me a Lid worth 16K+ from UK to India?Do parcels marked as gifts also liable to customs?

Cheers.

Purely touch and go - I've bought helmets from abroad thrice. Was charged duty on invoice value twice and let through without duty once. On the other hand have paid duty for armour while no duty was charged for full leathers - crazy!

All shipments were marked as gifts by friends and relatives but that seems to have no bearing on the customs who wield their duty sword seemingly arbitrarily. Try your luck guess!

Only with helmets, make sure you try out that brand's sizing with a friend who has it in India first - fitting with helmets vary at times across brands and getting the wrong size can be a bummer, as exchange may be next to impossible.

Any DIY for helmet mohawk?

I remember Joshua Crasto used to add a red mohawk to his helmet when he used to test bikes for BSM, its there in several articles. They even mentioned the website from which to order this though I have no recollection of the details now.

Vineeth, your question has been answered a gazillion times on this thread. 15 minutes of browsing through this will give you all your answers.

Carpet is what i said sarcastically ! There are helmets actually like that !

Btw for those who missed...I did this to my old helmet a few years ago

Purely touch and go... may be next to impossible.

Thanks!


Cheers.

The AGV now comes with ISI certification.
The best part is it retails at Rs. 5865/- with a flat 5% discount.

And sorry to break your heart its the Indian AGV

@Nin : That's a horny helmet ... Have you glued them permanently or what?

Feels a bit over-priced to me...also doesn't have air vents on top i suppose and also a plain looking Studds replica shell.

Here are the options that you can get when you have 6k in hand:

1. Daijya G-Fit
2. Nuvo
3. SOL

All the above are absolute VFM...

I know those were the MPA rip-off of AGV and never the real deal.
Those were sold as MPA's with the design from AGV and nothing more.I doubt they make them anymore.

+1 to all of the above. These are NOT the original ones. And there are few left in the market - and you still could bargain for a better price. 5% gimmick is to draw unsuspecting customers to them. If you want to buy a helmet, try to avoid the Orion guys - Most uninterested of the lot (my personal experience - others may have had better experiences).

Try Megha helmets- Mr. Gaurav for SOL helmets - they are the authorized resellers of SOL

Helmet Paradise/Balaji Helmets - You won't get SOL here but surely you'd get Daijya, LS2, a couple of Sparkx, 2 AGV's (looks very old) besides the regular Studds/Vega etc and etc.
