Water repellant for outside of visor?

Cheers Baph for the info and product reviews

there was a thread on this b4, a few people said WD40 ? but a lot went against it

HTH

Get a V-Wipe. It's like a little windscreen wiper for your index finger on your left hand. They're about £5 from any good motorcycle shop .
Loved it...until I lost it

I use visor rain repellent by these people storm water proofing.

It's not perfect, but it does do something. It doesn't really help with the build up of spray/mist at slow speeds, but turn your head sideways at 60+ and all the water is just whipped off. It wears off pretty quickly as well, you need to reapply about twice a week in bad weather.

I bought it from the local Kawasaki dealership.

I'd previously tried some stuff for car windscreens that I'd bought from Halfords. It wasn't quite as good.

The best thing I found was to have a clean visor.

I've got the iridium visor cleaning kit from www.thevisorhop.com whenever I clean my visor with that the rain seems to bead up really quickly and it runs off.

I found on foggy days that it was best to just let the moisture build up into big beads and then turn my head often so that the air pressure blows the water off.

i think the nikwax stuff helped but it was so foggy (and i am the slowest rider ever) that i didn't go fast enough for the moisture to get blown off my visor so had to rely on wiping my visor v frequently.

Go on, use malt vinegar! You'll get used to the smell after a while.

You had to tell them didn't you? Could of waited for the AR & the smell of vinegar!

i like the Nikwax stuff, it does make a big difference- you know how usually you can tip your head and the water blows off? It just does that all the time. Or it would, if I ever remembered to reapply it!

I got some rain-x stuff that I used to use on the cage out in the garage, is this stuff any good??
