offshore_motor_cycleparts on ebay (based in guernsey i think), got my arai visor about £15 less from them and it came quick.
Wish the same could be said for my top box and rack, nobheads.

Have a feeling my one came from their website for a similar price, I wasn't convinced by it though as I tended to see more of a reflection of my face than I did of the road. They also (seperate transaction) ripped me off in postage and suddenly weren't as helpful when I'd bought (although very helpful before they had my card details).

Edit: just remembered the visor wasn't from them I got it from a dodgy seller on ebay.

i've got the hyperoptic thingy and its good. it just takes the glare out of the sun on a sunny day and its good. however it doesnt stic to the inside of the visor for long? ive had 2 now and the longest ive had one stick for is about 10 months. and the worst thing is they come unstuck in winter!!! if they did a propper pinlock version i would stick with it but theyve been "doing one" for years now and still nothing. so im thinking of a tinted visor for the summer.

i wonder could anyone show me a pick of themselves with a visorbag on (with a visor in) im worried im too fat to have one round my waist!

I use the gradient tint aftermarket visor from race visors on my Shoei and it works well with the pinlock. I also have a hyperoptics insert in my clear visor which works well, but not as dark as the gradient tint. Gradient tint is still OK for dusk use as well, just not night time.

I dont have a pic but i cant wear a visor bag, im to skinny for it to tighten up enough to feel secure. and the smallest setting on my offshores bag fits me dad and hes not overly skinny, so you should be good idve thought

Personally I just have a clear visor and then a pair of clear and dark tint Pinlock inserts. Much easier to stick the spare insert under the seat or in a pocket so it's trivial to switch from dark tinted visor to clear visor if the weather's changeable.

Mine was a genuine arai, i dont trust copies tbh, i got a light tint which is better than expected.

I have been using a pair of cheap sunglasses under a clear visor and clear pinlock.

As of tomorrow I will be shifting to a pair of Oakley Half Jacket SI XJL with Persimmon (Yellow/Orange) Transitions lenses.

Will provide feedback

Will be carrying a dark visor in case they dont do the business tho.
