SumetCycle Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Sorry, we don't sell those at the moment. Perhaps in the future. I look into it and let you know. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSJ Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 It lists the co-ordinates, which is helpful for those of us who don't speak Thai. My question: Do you stock the coloured lid panels for the Shad 45...or do they have to be ordered in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBikeBKK Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Out of curiosity, are any of those brands (Bilmola, LS2, and Rider) DOT, Snell, or ECE certified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commande Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) Out of curiosity, are any of those brands (Bilmola, LS2, and Rider) DOT, Snell, or ECE certified? Nope, to the best of my knowledge they are only Thai certified which is why they are cheaper than the import helmets, Shark are the only helmets made in Thailand and serviceable within Thailand that are DOT and ECE certified. Just sent my Shark EvoLine 2 helmet in for service to replace the sunshield due to mechanical induced scratches - will be returned to me in 1 week, no issues, no import tax, just good service. Of note, I think that Bilmola and LS2 is trying to achieve certification but all the others not so sure, seems to me they are just another version of APEX helmets.

billd766 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Do you have the helmets up on a website so that I can see the stock. I live about 400 km north of BKK. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumetCycle Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Out of curiosity, are any of those brands (Bilmola, LS2, and Rider) DOT, Snell, or ECE certified? The LS2 models we sell all have ECE certification. Most of the Bilmola models also have ECE certification. A couple of them also have DOT certification. The Rider helmets only have TIS certification though. I'd probably only use the Rider for short trips on my scooter, but would be comfortable using either the Bilmola or LS2 on my CBR 1000 RR.

floridaguy Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) Brian, looks like alot of changes since I was last in your shop. I need to come up, I am in need of a new helmet. Do any of your helmets have an internal retractable sun visor? Also, are you organizing any rides any time soon?

Do any of your helmets have an internal retractable sun visor? Also, are you organizing any rides any time soon? Sure, a few of the Bilmolas have retractable sun visors. The Explorer model is really nice. My wife just started using it and loves it. We are thinking of doing a run to Kao Yai on our next trip. We are still working out the details. I'll let you know when I have more info. Thanks. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Well, I just picked up a new (to me) little Honda VFR400 today and was going to ride up to look at your helmets, but it looks like rain, and I don't like riding in the rain. I guess I will head up tomorrow morning. For sure let me know about the Khao Yai trip, I have been trying to get some friends together and go there, maybe we can tag along on your run. Will you take your new CBR1000, or another bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumetCycle Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 We now have Real helmets in stock. Right now we only have one model available (Stealth Pin-up), but we should have others available in the future. Thanks. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HondaBest Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 That's quite a good, and important question. Unfortunately I don't know the answer to it. I'd guess at one M and one L. I'll probably be in later today for an oil change anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
