DutchMick Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 I've had a Pinlock before, was ok, just wondering if FogCity was worth a go Quote
rob Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Have only had 2 lids 1st was a cheap 1and i just managed with out anything to help with fog except having visor slightly open.Last month got a new lid with pinlock fitted a great improvement and i can't fault it Quote
j4ff Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 isnt pinlock for fog city inserts?Or are we talking about tear off's?I use Hyper optiks.Turns cobalt blue in the sun.Wont fog no matter how hard you breath on a cold day. Quote
Guest Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 i never go out in the cold.....so never really get steamed up .....an i usually have my visor set on,slightly open.....just a tad......cos i getclaustraphobic (cant spell that!) Quote
Voodoo Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Just smear the inside with neat washing up liquid, works a treat Quote
Korben Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Just smear the inside with neat washing up liquid, works a treat I suffer with fogging badly, and have heard this is a great idea.Do you clean it off, or just smear it inside and let it dry? Quote
queen bodecia Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 I've got a Fog City but to be fair I never ride my bike in inclement conditions so probably don't need it... Quote
chicane Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 got fogcity hyper-optics in both my lids, ride in all kindsa crap and never had a problem since fitting the FCs. Quote
houdini Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 Ive got pinlock insert but also have a hyper optic one on another lid, given the choice Id get another undrilled visor and get the hyper optic insert that changes tint according to light conditions as these are supposed to be ace.Still havent seen the superbike version pinlock promised as the top seal is too low on the eyes when you want to go race stylee, head down business. The standard one is a pain as you need to keep your head relatively level. Quote
Guest Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 I've had a pinlock since I started and have had no problems whatsoever. Would recommend them. Quote
Guest Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 My pinlock thingy kept coming loose and misting up between the layers. I eventually ripped it out while on a ride and replaced it with a cheap fog city type stick on.Although it isn't perfectly stuck down ( it lifts in the middle ) it is much better than the old system.I think I will get another one and make a better job of fitting it and see how it goes.

houdini Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 You get a tiny slip of info on how to fit the pinlock when I bought my inserts but make sure the arrows on the pins face outwards and really press yer visor flat on the floor on a cushion, knee on one side hand on the other cos it'll only work if you lay it flat then as it comes back to shape the seal will stay 8) 8) Quote

Guest Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 little bit of soap. dry it off no problem, every day in winter without fog, never lift me visor up once. Quote
j4ff Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Doesnt matter how vented your helmet is when your at the lights as they depend on moving air.Although smearing washing up liquid stops some of the fogging its like looking through dirty warped glass.Personaly vision is very important and to use something which blurrs your vision just isnt worth it.You can fit Hyper Optiks to any visor(even without pins)as it has a self adhesive border which keeps it in place.In March "Ride" mag tests them all.Pinlock £18(insert) was top...ThenFog tech £10 for 12 sachetsFC Hyper Optiks £30(insert)Respro foggy mask £14(rider wears it.Not so good if you wear specs)Bob Heath Fog demon £15(insert)Shift-anti fog £2.50(spray)GP products inside out £5(spray)The rest below are a waste of time and moneyHein Gericke anti fog £4(spray)Motrax fog free £4(spray)Yoshimoto fog off £4(spay)Bob Heath anti fog £3.50(spray)Muc off anti fog £10(spray)Then last was washing up liquid. All spray on and wipes leave a greasy blurry effect Quote
Guest Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Doesnt matter how vented your helmet is when your at the lights as they depend on moving air. I open my visor when I stop at lights. Quote
j4ff Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Even at the lights its not like you have moving air to clear the visor.My hands were that cold the other day that i couldnt pop my visor open to talk to a friend.Had to wait to get home take my gloves off.The pain in my thumb trying to open it Fit a FC and forget about it Quote
