summers on the way so back we go

now its summer i'm de-wintering my bike from all the corosion and all that crap that ive collected from everyday use took me day to wash my bike properly... but anyway

tinted visors ive jsut bought a black one now for my rossi lid so that i dont get blinded by the sun on those summer evenings who else got one of these ?? what you guys think?

just another stupid thread lol

i've got a tinted blue one, see my avatar, not got my new helmet yet, but i'll have it back on soon, better than sunglasses IMHO

I've got a dark visor and I think it is fab. Keeps the glare out and stops the constant squinting...
I always carry a clear one with me just in case I get stopped - touch wood though I havent yet...

Saying that however, the only thing I dont like about it is car drivers cant see which way you are looking - Im not sure whether that is a good thing or not........but other than that I dont have any qualms about the visor. Enjoy!

im looking to get 1 of them 2! prices vary so much form place to place tho and a dont think theres many differnt ones that fit my lid, i gots a rossi lid to only one of the cheap ones tho

I have a tinted visor fitted and was wondering if you can be done by the police for not carrying a clear visor, even when the visibility is good during the day time?

Got the best of both worlds. My Caberg lid has a flip down internal visor (tinted) - sunny weather, visor down , then into a tunnel - visor up . Cut up by a cage - WHOLE front of helmet open for abuse and dirty looks .

Highly recommended - especially when a long sunny day starts to turn dull/ dark.

I've the shoei Kagayama replica with chrome silver visor..

mine says "daylight use only" does say not road legal or anything and as such never had any problems when I've got stopped for other things by the police.

Newbie question....

What happens if you are caught in the Dark with a tinted visor, do they make that much difference that you wouldn't see where you were going?

Obvious answer is to lift the lid, but if you are going quick (as I usually am) I would get a face full of flies.

Cheers,

dark/tinted/irridium visors are deadly at night .carry a clear one just in case .the police may not be bothered that much (well some of them)but trust me ,going through a hedge cos you cant see the edge of the road prop is more of an issue .i wear an irridium one most of the time ,but if im liable to be riding when its gtng dark i change it to a clear one .not as cool/nice but then neither is lying in a field in the dark.

If your visor does not have the correct (BS?) markings, you can in theory get done regardless of whether you are carrying a clear visor or not.

I have a very dark tint visor, however always carry the clear one. Touch wood, I have not been stopped yet, however hopefully demonstrating to the police that I am being responsible and carrying the clear one so that I can change if required is enough to keep them sweet.
