Feedback required

I haven't used or even seen one, so I can't comment. The LS2 is popular because of its affordability. I use a SOL 68s myself.

Could you share your experience with the SOL helmets? How is the comfort ,noise insulation .Does it have good ventilation to keep the insides of helmet cool in hot weather?

I think u can use thick cardboard sheets (brown coloured, grain textured) for the solid structure.

Yes thats also on my mind, and unable to get strong rubber from anywhere

Velcro sheets will be help !
May be you can use the ends of your old carpet for this !

Velcro for glue-ing purpose or what?
Carpet look would be too much actually , I am going for the pic that I posted....

Using mine for the last 1 year over 18k kms. Genuine DOT certified, good build quality, good comfort, plush, removable and washable CoolMax interior, very good circulation with many vents, very good visor quality. Check out a review from another member here - SOL Helmet Review

Many Chennai XBhpians and Madras Bulls using it now.

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?

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.
