Visor inserts
Can anyone recommend some visor inserts for me?
NOT the fog city type, but tinted for strong light conditions. It would help me a lot as I wear glasses to ride, and don't have prescription sunglasses. Ideally they would be polarised and be easily removable whilst on the bike (stopped of course!). Cheers, John |

Pinlock...
like the Fogcity inserts, but completely removeable! Best to buy a Pinlock compatible visor - easy if you've got a Shoei You can then get inserts of almost any type - clear, smoked, colour tinted, reactive.

Hi
I've seen visor inserts advertised that are photochromic (or whatever the word is - basically they darken when the sun comes out) try looking on Busters or M&P's websites I have a Schuberth Concept flip front lid that has a second darkened visor built in - chose this as I also wear specs & it's a lot easier to put on Caberg do a cheaper flip front, and I've recently seen some conventional lids with a second visor built in |

Reactive would be cool! I have an arai SV with a standard visor.

www.pinlock.com
I think the reactive one might actually be a Fogcity. Contact your local dealer to at least order an Arai Pinlock visor - will have the holes and studs pre-fitted for you. Should also come with an clear insert.

Pinlocks mean drilling your visor don't they?

from your post in the tuning thread,...
Quote:
They are usualy behind the counter/ till area as they are only a fiver... and i guess easy to nick. The nice thing i've found with em is they fit any lid/ visor, are easy to cahnge and the diffrent colours have a diffrent degree of darkness to em. My silver one i'll wear on cloudy but bright days, but the purple one on full sun days. The purple is a fair deal darker than the silver an i would image the black would be the same. They are a bit easy to scratch when you clean em and they crease if handle them a bit roughly. Mine got caught on the rubber seal and from inside the crease can be a bit annoying But they do also help with stopping it fogging up which is a huge bonus on cold sunny days And well worth a fiver of anyones money really.
