Im knob in a blue iridium visor now. Looks mint, serves a good purpose and seems brilliant, but I've become super paraniod about scratching it.

If you get a black tinted one, you'll look like ghost rider in your full black get up.

had a genuine black tint & iridium tint for my Shoei XR900

Very pleased with both, although the iridium isnt actually that dark and it is very easy to scratch the bl**dy thing.

got mine from www.thevisorshop.com reasonable price and fantastic service.

don't bother with a legal tint it's pretty useless go for a "race black", iridium can look a bit tacky, and unlike a black one will scratch up over time (even a finger wipe could do it in rain or sleet).

Cheers Mark.

I got an aftermarket one from www.racevisors.com its not bad, the pinlock was a bit iffy getting it to fit, but now all sorted

Pinlock are at some point soon bringing out a reactions version of their insert (I e-mailed them to ask). Keep a look out as this may be another option that is less prone to damage.

Whatever you get just don't get brake fluid on it

When you say reactions do you mean goes dark when its sunny?

Dont they already do these? or is that another brand, because I have defo seen people with them on before.

Fog City do a hyper optik that react to light, but that glues on instead of pinlock. (IMO it doesn't get anywhere near dark enough)
