Fogcity visor insert - SV650.org

Really good so far. Had rain today, which is normally a surefire way to fog-up. Nothing at all.

No low sun yet to test reactolite, but recommend so far.

Second best accessory purchased. Top place to Oxford Heated Grips, which make the difference between commuting and, well, not...

Yep, i love mine as well... Wish the light-reactive part was a bit more light-reactive though, they just don't go dark enough to make any real difference IMHO.

The insert is great, but it's not reactive enough to make any tangible difference.

Haven't noticed any great difference in the light-reactive part, but the not-fogging up bit - marvellous.

Anyone else get annoyning extra reflections? Quite irritating on night city riding.

I'm umming and arring about getting a caberg v2 lid. It has 2 visors (1 "sunglasses" type inner visor). Do you reckon I'd need 2 visor inserts, or just the 1? If it's bright enough to warrant the "sunglasses" in winter, it'd probably be crisp enough not to mist up, right?

Secondly, if you reckon I would need 2, do you think the light reactive part is so minimal that I could safely line an already darkened visor with it? If not, can you get non-light reactive versions (but which still provide anti-misting)? The bog stanfdard "Fog City Shield" (not hyper optik version) looks like it'd fit the bill.

Thanks.

The only thing I don't like about mine is the black outline around it, it is so off putting, but I guess you get used to it. Mine goes dark enough for most situations, the only time it doesnt is when the sun is setting in the horizon.

I dont think they will fit on the smaller internal visor mate. IIRC the internal visor is shaped around your nose and pretty small. A fog City is visor shaped, and I would imagine a lot bigger.

The Caberg (V1 anyway) doesnt need a fogcity insert, the clear visor is antifog already

The sun visor is not antifog, but doesnt seem to mist unless stoped anyway.

So is the clear visor on my Soumy Gunwind, thats why I have a FogCity fitted

Suomy's anti fog visors are rubbish IMHO
