wiffers Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 For an HJC CS-R1 ??Also, do you guys stick with < 50% darkness (i.e. legal) ... is that enough to replace sunglasses? The other day I went out, it was sunny, I have a clear visor, my glasses kept fogging!Thanks Quote
techno Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 I have a dark visor its not legal but when sun is low and during summer its a life saver Just carry a clear one with ya!http://www.racevisors.co.uk Quote
wiffers Posted January 5, 2009 Author Posted January 5, 2009 Surely if I get pulled by police I wont have time to change it anyway ???Thanks for link Quote
techno Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 No but as your carrying a clear one they shouldnt care, and to be fair I haven't known of anyone getting stopped and there visors checked. Quote
wiffers Posted January 5, 2009 Author Posted January 5, 2009 GotchaThey don't have the HJC CS-R1 though Quote
Fazer Pete Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Try Offshore Motorcycle Parts. Based in Guernsey. As Techno says though, carry a clear 1 with you Quote
Guest philgale Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 GotchaThey don't have the HJC CS-R1 though yes they do http://www.racevisors.co.uk/category/vi ... ine-hjc-09have a look at the list at the top your lid is there used racevisors a few times there really good Quote
wiffers Posted January 5, 2009 Author Posted January 5, 2009 Thanks philgale - I missed that Isn't it silly carrying a clear one? what does it prove? I don't get it. Couldn't you just flip visor up if police asked?U guys go for mirrored or tint?Thx Quote
Guest philgale Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 the point is you can explain you are prepared id the light changes by carrying a clear one....if it gets you off a 30 note fine its worth it.... Quote
wiffers Posted January 6, 2009 Author Posted January 6, 2009 Ah - I see, makes sense thanksDo you get points, or just a £30 fine? Quote
Guest Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Just get yourself one of those helmets with a slide down shade. You just need to slide it down behind the clear visor when required and just slide the sunshades back up when driving in low light conditions Quote
Hoody Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Ah - I see, makes sense thanksDo you get points, or just a £30 fine? Could get either a £30 fine for not conforming to regs, or £60 and 3 points for dangerous parts and accessories.Carry a clear visor an you should be OK. As techno said ^ Quote
wiffers Posted January 7, 2009 Author Posted January 7, 2009 OKay then, the question now arisesDark tint, mirorred, rainbow? etcAm I more likely to be pulled with a mirror/rainbow?Are mirrored/rainbow ones dark like sunglasses?Are they harder to clean?Thanks Quote
Guest philgale Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 to be honest i find my blue iridium clearer to look through than my dark tint visor....what lid you got...my first one was a race rep with lots of blue on it hence the blue visor but my new one is mostly black hence dark tint.... Quote
wiffers Posted January 7, 2009 Author Posted January 7, 2009 U mean clearer as in not as dark?I want it to replace sunglasses ... if that makes sense ... so dark is goodI have an HJC CS-R1 Samurihttp://www.helmetcity.co.uk/HJC-CS-R1-Samurai_0_0_114A1.jpgIt looks redder on other side ... Quote
Guest philgale Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 its not as dark no, but id say filters more light out if that makes sense, the light isnt as sharp through my iridium but i can see much better.....id go for dark tint on yours, rainbow would look out of place, a silver iridium could look quite good with the white too...i got rose a silver iridium for her all black lid and that looks good... Quote
wiffers Posted January 7, 2009 Author Posted January 7, 2009 So silver will be clearer (lighter), but still filter out the sun as well as a dark ... if that makes sense. id go for dark tint on yours, rainbow would look out of place, a silver iridium could look quite good with the white too... Don't quite get what you mean ... you'd go for dark or silver? You seemed to change your mind mid sentence Thanks mate - appreciated**edit PG quote (i cant spell ) Quote
Guest philgale Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 yeah dark tint or silver, a rainbow style one IMO would look out of place.....and they dont do a dark red tint.... Quote
Guest Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 This is the one I meant. It has integrated flip sunshade and blue tooth all for 99.99Linkhttp://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z314/ziggymarsh/Ebay/RSV99Bluewithdevices.jpg Quote
craig Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 friend of mine has that lid i rang him once and could not understand a word he was saying........he sounded like a robot .........i,d maybe get one for the flip down shade ,but would,nt expect the sound quailty to be that good Quote
Guest Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 There are ones without inbuilt bluetooth. I was looking at some yesterday, but I bought a new lid recently anyway so I was not ging to invest in anothe lid so soon. Quote
