Default Re: Pinlocks & Fog City's

My pinlock needs replacing, the seals are not as good as they used to be (even turning the eccentric pins doesn't help them seal) and it does have a fair amount of scratches (the side that fits against the visor scratches more easily than the side that is closest to your face).

They're pretty good once fitted correctly. I use a clear one with my smoked visor and a tinted/light reactive one with my clear visor.

This is what I will be doing but your looking at £50 for 1 visor set up.

Mounts up quickly.

Are they meant to be that way round & they turn when you're swapping them or is this a cheeky way to get some extra life out of them?

Both, as well as allowing adjustment for different visors

Yep, it's just a turn to fit adjustment. If you can't get the pinlock to fit in the space open them, if it won't seal, close them.

My fog city reactive performance is not that dark.maybe due to anit uv on HJC's.
On the pin lock dark insert
I squirted a bit of silacon on my finger and run it round the seal.didnt stick all last year but its in a tights leg to stop it getting scrached till summer then see if its reacated with the seal.
