I do like iridium. But then I have a black bike, black leathers and black lid. My iridium visor adds a splash of colour. Go for which ever you prefer.

iridium and smoked give about the same tinting effect, however a black or race black visor gives more, all are of course illegal but then you knew that

athough both smoked and black visors still scratch the iridium one will show it far more.

the choice is your (I have race black visors for both the arai's and the Shoei's)

Cheers Mark.

you can normally get them "under the counter" from most places, but if not then from most of the shows.


If all else fails try http://www.thevisorshop.com/acatalog/

Cheers Mark.
