Dont they only do visors for open face lids?

If its to stop misting, try one of the many options available to you. Foggy, Fog city, Pinlock, or good ole Bob heaths spray which the GF usues.

I used them many years ago and they were as good/bad as the original kit that came with the helmets. Like all visors they need to be treated with lots of TLC to avoid a premature demise.

Bob is a rider himself and a few years ago I had the privilage of visiting his work shop for a close look at the classic British race bikes he was campaigning at the time, unfortunatly the Honda he threw down the Track at Goodwood was not in residence at the time.

Ah, okies. I have a theory...wehn the visor is knackered, then so is the lid! Suppose i get a new lid about every 2 years!

I had one for my old helmet, it was utter cr@p, 1/2 thickness of my original, rain scratched it, it was that poor, and it one fliped up and opened on me when i did my life saver (propper **** me up), needless to say, i put the original scratched on back on as it was better

I had a couple a few years ago.

They were OK but not as good as original - but they were half the price and available in light smoke
