If you're from mumbai, why not simply visit the store. Been there. They got some nice collection. You'll get their address on their website.
Else, for mumbai, they said they can deliver within hours if you give them a call and specify the product. Payment can be done on delivery. Note this is only for mumbai.

manson · 11th February 2010, 13:59

Waiting for an ARAI update, and a hopeful review by the weekend.

@straight6 That sure is a beauty.

If its not a big inconvenience can you upload a pic of the helmet taken in the dark with just a torchlight or so illuminating it.

It appears that the helmet has some reflective paint on it. I want to see how bright it glows.

Thanks. I don't think its reflective paint. Its got glitter in it. I'll still take some pictures in the dark to find out.

Thanks. Not heard of Berik here. You can get AGV, Joe Rocket, Sparx and KBC at Tardeo.

Looks like somebody did bikebandit? Am I right?

straight6 · 12th February 2010, 07:58

No, I didn't get it from bikebandit.

given2fly · 12th February 2010, 10:47

extremesupply.com?

It's there for about 450$ + 50$ shipping to Asia.

I didn't buy it from any website. My friend bought it from a shop and shipped it to me.

Btw, where the hell have you been? Your Ninja must have cobwebs on it by now

I am looking for a helmet (modular)
My budget is around 8K, I have gone through the thread but all the imported helmets mentioned are in excess of 12K.
Which good brand lies in my budget. I have also checked Joerockets
By the way Straight great buy.

given2fly · 20th February 2010, 23:12

@ Slick, Check out this website (Thanks Straight6). http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/StoreFront.bok

One of the best pricing alongside ExtremeSupply (The big daddy of all. They are the official partner of almost all leading brands). However, I am still to check on ExtremeSupply's Paypal payment option which is a big bother for me as they asked me to wire money to them. :-(

PS: BTW, those looking for some boots, here are some cool deals on A*.

Update guys: Palpal's services in India are on a brief pause till they register with RBI.

Given/Animesh: I have given you atleast a couple of easier motorcycle portal links toi shop from. Wonder why do you want to wire your money to extremesupply rather than shopping at ease on sportbiketrackgear, newenough or denniskirk. Heck, even motorcyclecloseouts is half a decent option.

Slick: Lookup the websites I've just marked above for Animesh, or considering you're in Mumbai, just had down to Vicky at Performance Racing Store, Tardeo. They've got Joe Rocket, KBC & Sparx of which the enrty level stuff should maybe fit into your budget.

A little higher, just across the street (literally) to Performance Store (which we shall from now refe to as PRS) is Zulfi of Bachoo Motors is an official dealer for AGV.

Leave me a pm if you need numbers for either of the above.

Point here. if you are going to the performance store, it might be worthwhile to check the websites of sparx, joe rocket etc and then go there for try outs. These guys will order the helmet for you as available on the website. this takes a week or so. alternatively, you can see the range at the store itself on their computer , but i some how prefer the leisure browsing at home.
