Carrying a Spare Visor

[Luckypants]

Just got a new dark visor to go with my new HJC Lordship lid and it does not fit in the visor pouch of my Oxford bum bag. It is deeper than my old Arai visor.

So how do folks carry a spare visor out and about? I have seen the specific visor bags but that would mean carrying two things round my waist. Any suggestions / tips for carrying a spare visor?

You don't really have a choice, I don't ride without carrying a clear visor as it limits when you have to return, also the old bill generally are fine with dark visors if you have a clear with you.

the carryng issue, well, you could fit the visor in a soft helmet bag and around the contour of your body inside your jacket, or a tank bag.

I'm not keen on "bum bags" as you tend to end up carrying hard stuff in them which can be a bit nasty in an accident (bit like backpacks) a visor carrier is my choice and everything else goes in a tankbag or tail pack, but each to their own.

Cheers Mark.

yeah well, the bum bag is a useful thing. Hardest thing in it is my phone and I take the point. I use it to carry cash / wallet / basic first aid kit / any bits of shopping I pick up on way home.

looks like a visor bag is the only way forward, so any one got a recommendation?

this is what i do, like you say if the rozzers want to speak to you, ( which they have to me ) they dont really care as long as the clear is with you too,
but round where your ribcage is i find is the most comfy i dont even know its there.

Will give that a go next time I'm out.

on my sv i used to be able to tuck the visor pouch between the screen and the clocks, now i put it round under my ribs, i wouldnt put it round your back , unless your small, itll flaten the visor out and maybe break it.....

got the black with silver design. Carbon still shows between the transfers. Only been out with it once, but it seems lush.
