did you get an extra visor for the 5.5k?

OT : has the apparels come in at Orion?

No I haven't got any extra visor...should I be getting one?

Yes, there are riding gears available. A new batch came just last week, according to them.

For that price, you should have got a tinted visor as well...
I was talking about the Yamaha apparels... that has come?

I'll check it out with them. Thanks for informing me.

I didn't ask them about Yamaha apparels, realdice. No idea about it. You can give them a ring...

FOLLOW UP: I gave them a call. As a new customer. I had asked them about availability and price. They said it costs 5.5K but no extra visor. Just the transparent one. When did you buy the helmet, bro?

**realredice** · 11-13-2008, 06:04 PM

I got mine directly from planetdsg... helmet + tinted visor for 4900... Orion generally sells the helmets for Rs. 500 extra... so yours should have cost Rs. 5000... i guess planetdsg has increased the price of the helmets along with the other gear...

Thats the Silver cousin of my red Daijya

.....
The cost of the helmet here in Pune is 4.5k.... checkout out 10 days back in Pune..... Orion sells at premuim costs....... it comes with a (default)tinted or clear visor @ the same cost..... extra visor costs 450rs for tinted and 350rs for normal (all costs at pune ok... no idea abt b'lore....btw I got my xtra visor from mumbai... at 550rs(iridium tinted))

@Pranay: Good choice.... looks super cool...

i guess i must be the 1st guy intent on breaking the Daijya trend... After a year with the Daijya which did save my head on 1 particular and so far my only serious shunt.. i can no longer live with the weight of the helmet. It's just too heavy for city riding IMO and while it might be a personal choice.. i really think its the most significant -ve of this helmet for me.

Anyone wanna recommend a good alternative?

Hmm.... you can go for Sparx Helmets (available at performance racing store, Tardeo)..... the quality levels are amazing.... better than Daijya.... costs are higher though... and they are pretty light weight....

guys...i see everybody praising the daijya helmets...but where are these helmets manufactured? japan? I dont even seem to find their company website. Can somebody put up the same?

Checkout www.performanceracingstore.net ...... u'll find the store address on that website..... AFAIK... costs of sparx helmets vary from 7.5k to 10-11k.... plus 12.5% vat... also checkout Joe Rocket and KBC helmets... they also stock Nolan helmets I guess..... costs are high though..

....
....
....
....
5 minutes later I walked out with this....

P.S:- I'm broke for the rest of this month

hey pranay that's the lid which i liked when i had gone get my daijya at orion. unfortunately, this lid was only M size which they had in stock, so i got myself the silver matt tiger (large size). is yours the medium size ?

DUDE ! 5.5k is high (by rs500 that is) , they quoted me 4808 with some vat (say nearly 4900 something), and no i didnt not get any tinted visor alongwith it. ordered a black visor from Planet dsg, PM me if you want to know the details

Cheers

Its 59-60 L

And I asked them today ( I went today as well

) about the pricing. They said the prices for all helmets has been increased by 500. I had double checked by calling them yesterday. I had called from the office saying I was interested in buying Daijya. I asked them the price and still quoted 5.5K. I said it was 4.5K before as I heard from a friend. They said the prices had increased recently. I don't know how far is it true, but a couple of other members here had also bought there Daijya helmets at 5.5K

ah that seems okay,
btw do preserve the sticker which comes on the helmet visor

put it back on the visor so that it doesnt get scratched when its not in use , realised it the hard way

you can order a black visor(rs 500) (after you come out of the broke period

) would look great with the silver base

OT
p.s coming to bangalore tomorrow morning and will be at jasir's place till monday morning, when will you be free ?
