oh yeah... anyone can recommend a good place (around PJ-subang-shah alam preferably) that can repair helmet liners? the sponge is still ok but the cloth cover starting to koyak and need that replaced.

if u guys are gonna say pertama.. can pls specify which shop specifically?

Thanks...any idea of the cost for full face?

Mecinda is the shop that sells ori kriega, rs taichi etc stuff right?

The helmet is my Caberg drift evo carbon...not exactly a common helmet here so finding parts mebbe susah...but again, foam still good and still fits snug..just the cover starting to koyak...didnt even notice til i saw it

Solo rider fb group? No...im not in that group

Dont mind a trip to pertama...but weather these days so hujan...i also generally hate going to kl but will if i have to... Wanted to see around my area got or not. thanks for lead though...ill check it out

I wear glasses n I just use a buff instead of a balaclava...i tend to lick my lips alot so balaclava x best coz itll get wet hahahah

DD ring may be the safest out there but that doesnt make the micrometric strap unsafe...its still a pretty good system...alot of ppl tend to treat non DD like its a disease simply coz DD is rated as safest. If micrometric unsafe doubt itll pass ece testing.

Anyway..there is a way to convert DD to clip style easily...

Claims to surpass snell standards...i ordered one from ebay couple of years back but i cancelled it coz accidentally ordered wrong color n never got around to re ordering...now got this on shoppee i think im gonna reorder after i get my helmet liner reupholstered.

Yup...basically this (first pic after the video)

i never tie... i just slip it on and position it properly...

spread the sides so my ears arent squished or folded.

the end

I bought my son the bilmola rapid s. Not a bad helmet..i tried it on when at the shop and it fit me great and also comfy. The helmet design is also quite nice...only thing is they all have graphics n i prefer plain black.

Didnt get for myself coz no drop down sun visor...n yeah id recommend it

Why jpj denied? Ive been thinking of ordering from revzilla..n which site u ordered from?

Have u tried asking nks in sentul.if they can order for u? They are hjc local distributor

the helmet i want to order should have E mark... i actually already own the helmet and mine has the E mark.... but i wanna get a replacement coz its about 6 years old and quite worn now and theres no local sellers here...not sure if US versions will have the E mark on them coz they not into E mark and DOT instead :x

sentul is the name of the place...the HJC FB is actually ran by a shop called NKS in Sentul....

i want to order the AFX FX-41DS...havent ordered yet.

theres a few site around but revzilla is the one i think i trust more....just not sure if the helmets sold in the US has E Mark on them

Have u tried going to one of those shoei custom fittings? They might be able to do something for u...was quite often before covid in klang...not sure if they still have it.

I assume local brands like mhr, lts n stuff wont have ur size right?

Ever looked at lazer helmets?

Mostly the AGVs... like AGV K1 K3 K6...heard feedback from a Z800 owner and he said his K3Sv cuts thru the wind really well

that being said i am also using M30.3 and go up to 140kmh just fine... sometimes more.... wat bike u riding and wats ur wind protection like?

u could look into Bilmola helmets... tested it before and it fits my head quite well and is quite comfy. they are based in setapak iirc.

also not sure if they have ur size but u can always inquire via FB.

1.5k is a decent budget... i bought my HJC Rpha 90 for around 1.4k during promo last time.. u could try find one in case somewhere has old stock.

Lazer MH6 at LSH Racing World is around 1550g for L. ive never tried it but its something you could look into. they also have caberg helmets, i think the Caberg Droid is the modular they have there now. some AGVs as well... but AGVs will be expensive obviously.

same thing i did... from a 1.7kg modular to a 1.3kg cf full face. really cant see myself going back to heavy helmets... so much so that im seeeerrriiiioooouuussslllyyy thinking of spending RM3k on the AGV Sportmodular

If wanna make high quality content for utub etc ok la those cams...but for normal dvr purposes kinda videos, can just get SJ4000 AIR and get this case from AliExpress

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mO8NzTG

Has dvr loop function, Good image quality, stabilization depends on ur head, n with that case, can charge while riding..even if its raining (if u setup the other end of the cable to be water proof)...no need to buy multiple batteries or change batteries every hour 😁

look at the e-mark on the strap...even official documentation for ece legality in malaysia only refers to the e-mark and not the ece sticker on the rear.

example of tag here: https://www.bikesrepublic.com/wp-content/up...t-1-696x522.jpg

note that actually helmet visors also need to have their own e-mark to be street legal...but this is usually not enforced or ppl dont even know about it.

Im not exactly sure..but ive heard the testing is similar to ece tests...

Some has even said its better than ece as ece only does drop test once while sirim does it twice..no idea of the truth in this.

I think theres is a video on youtube from years ago abt sirim helmet tests...

As for sirim cert....heres a quote from my email correspondence a few years ago when i asked abt gettin a sirim sticker for my already ece certified personal helmet.

"Biasanya helmet yg mendapatkan pelekat SIRIM adalah untuk dijual kerana prosesnya melibatkan audit di kilang dan testing."

So i conclude myself that sirim cert is more for locally produced helmets as factory audit is required and i doubt sirim wanna travel overseas to audit overseas brand helmets.


As for jpj sticker, dont think its for local brand...as local will have sirim....i think the first brand to have that sticker is kyt when they first started getting popular...n kyt is indo brand that, at the time, only had indos sni cert n no ece.

Which is why must always go test a helmet at the shop n never buy online....unless ur buying the same helmet for a 2nd time.

Roomy? Didnt press ears? U sure u got the fitment right? A helmet is supposed to be snug...not roomy.

inner padding i remove and dump it into a laundry bag/net and dump it in the washing machine n drier along with my other laundry at coin laundrys... specifically laundrybar coz thats where i go the most.

the rest of the helmet, if im in the mood to do it, i just spray with water in my toilet using the shower head n soap it down with shampoo usually both the exterior and interior....leave to dry indoors for a few days (straps need time to dry). once dry i take a damp cloth to wipe the visors to remove any water stains and wipe dry.


seen this helmet around... looks nice... but dunno quality....quick check on youtube i can see emergency release pads....

but i wont consider this specific model.. doesnt looks like it has the inner sunvisor which to me is a must in my helmets.
