Default Pinlock...

Are f*cking amazing.

I just got home to find them (1 clear, 1 tinted) waiting for me and wasted no time in fitting.

Ok, it took me a lot longer than it should have working out how to fit them but the results are, 100% perfect.

Was just prancing about the front room with my lid on and shut, breathing as heavily as I could without a single hint of mist.

With my old visor I could hold my breath and it'd still get misted up

At last, I can see where I am going! Helps somewhat with the British weather

Its deffo one of those "how did I live without it before" purchases

Take it out, wash both pinlock and visor with warm water and fairy liquid, rinse, then soak up water with paper towel, don't wipe or it'll scratch, leave to air dry. If the pinlock seal has lost the rubbery feel, applying a little Vaseline may help.

Try at your own risk
