What's the general consensus on non-genuine visors?

I was looking at evilbay for a pinlock ready visor for my AGV S4.

Was wondering if non-genuine visor's are ok?

Any firment issues, or safety issues (i.e is it likely to shatter in my face should I bin it )

Cheers

Both my tinted and clear visors for my s4 are fine and neither of them are standard.
Fitting is fine although did have to adjust the plates on either side for a sunnger fit but i think it was abit lose from standard.

Ta muchly.

Gotta be worth a go at half the price

I got a black visor off racevisors.co.uk that says it will fit both my Stealth and Ti-Tech. Fits better on the Stealth if i'm honest but cant complain, genuine visors not worth it IMO

Nice to know!

I tried washing mine in Fairy liquid the other day and even after a bit of careful buffing, it's scratched to crap.

Useless in the dark, car headlights blur...

Depends on what you buy, there's no question that premium makers visors last very well, (unless you're a butcher of course!), a number of aftermarket visors I've used over the years haven't been as well made or coated.
The problem is consistency, even the same make visors fared differently.
Genuine visors are dear it's true, but in my lengthy experience have been a better and more certain buy.
Looked after they last a long time too, and that doesn't mean you need to be obsessive, just reasonable care.

Well thats the thing - I havent abused this visor (its the original one still, but only a few months old) - and it's neigh on dangerous in my opinion.

Might sound tight but in the back of my mind, I dont want to buy another genuine visor (at full cost) if its like this! Swings and roundabouts I guess.

Reckon I'll take a chance

+ I want a pinlock, with the weather the way it is.

the only visor problem i had was on a old AGV about 7 years ago, where even as a pillion it striped its outer coating, the visor now on my GP-Tech is ok but still scratches far to easy. my roof boxer visor was much harder wearing

i need a tinted visor so am also undecided what to do, i like the look of a dark tint but then id have to change the bloody thing over at night, so think i need to get a pin lock.

I'm with Squidly on this one,if purely for the fit and wind noise.
