I am looking for a lid with removable inner lining and DIY interchangeable visor. Any idea where I can find one? Any particular shop/brand I should be looking for? And most importantly, I want it in a SMALL size. The last time I checked at Abids, the AGVs and other better brands didn't come in my size.
How much do you think it would cost?

@mashmash, does your lid have removable inner lining and DIY interchangeable visor?

I ain't a Hyderabadi, but I guess I can help you !

If you aren't on a budget, go for a LS2. It has got interchangable visor and a removable inner lining. Now, about the size, I didn't find any helmet in SMALL size when I was looking for one. LS2 starts from Large size, whereas Cross has medium size too. Solution? Buy a medium/large size helmet and wear a skull cap over your head before wearing a helmet. That will ensure it's a snug fit. Even I am doing the same

Re: The Riding Gear thread

Just got my AGV K3 Gothic black - my first good and expensive helmet , was juggling between a Dreamtime and this but finally settled for it, would test it in India when i come back with my bike.

Ordered a M but its a little tight, read of forums that it will loosen up a bit with time and helmets should be snug fit.

But wouldn't I look like an alien, I mean with a large/medium size lid on my not so large/medium size frame!?

I'm not really familiar with Madhapur. Can you give me more specific directions to the store? Any landmark? Preferably, can you give me directions from Mercedes-Benz Madhapur?

Do you wear a jacket/windcheater while riding? If yes, then it won't be much of a concern.

His place is quite close from the Merc Showroom. Once you reach the showroom, you could give him a call for further guidance. His place is basically on the parallel road to the Madhapur Road. I have sent his number to you via a PM.

Great Lid. How much was the damage?

Also, they would have something in Black/Grey combo as well right?
