Guest philgale Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 http://www.racevisors.co.ukhad about 4 visors off them and never had a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korben Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Up to you mate, but if you just get the pinlock the sun will beam round the sides and still get in your eyes... Best go for the whole visor with a clear pinlock to stop misting.Go here and you will be able to find the one you want. Reasonable price, and I have never had or never heard of a problem with their service or products.http://www.racevisors.co.uk/See... Even Phil recommends em!!

bigsisterbiker Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) i've got a tinted visor with clear pinlock, best option i think. i use racevisors - very good. do official and other aftermarket visors, good range for shoei. and you get a free visor pouch Edited March 18, 2009 by bigsisterbiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korben Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Or a iridium visor. I think they look awesome!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akey Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Shouldnt need a pinlock with a dark visor as you usuallly put a dark visor on when its warm outside so no steaming up of visor.I have a clear visor with clear pinlock for rain and winter and a dark visor for summer (days).Oh and racevisors.co.uk are great, never had a problem with them eitherOnly problem with irridiums is they can scratch real easy.

bigsisterbiker Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 def want clear pinlock with iridium, or mirror finish - darker tint than normal on the visor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korben Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I have heard about people not misting up in summer... Mine does though. Guess that must just be me though!! True, iridium gets damaged very easily. Thankfully not scratched mine yet and it's been about 8 months since I got it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philgale Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 really mark? my blue visor never scratched but my black one has the only issue i had with race visors was when they sent the wrong colour visor, contacted them and they sent one that day and just said return the other one and we will cover all postage....quality service....i will always buy visors from them now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korben Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 quality service....i will always buy visors from them now Same here mate.... Just top notch service, and nice to see they are happy to correct their mistakes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsisterbiker Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 i use mine all year too korbs. not just you that steams up my brothers iridium scratches easily, the mirror finish one is a bit less fragile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigup Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 thanks guys!on my clear one now, i have a clear pinlock on it, can i take this out and put it in the dark visor or are these only use once? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 quality service....i will always buy visors from them now Same here mate.... Just top notch service, and nice to see they are happy to correct their mistakes... got an OE Arai visor and visor pouch for £35 delivered as for iridium it used to be only a coating on the visor so scratched and peeled off easily i think they have improved it over the years as its more hard wearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsisterbiker Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 no - take em out as many times as you like. so long as you fit them properly they're fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philgale Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 you can take them out but i couldnt be arsed to do that everytime you change visor...what lid do you have? can you find a pic online and post it then we can see what visor would look best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T180985 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 ive got a pinlock on my visor and not had any issues with it, would recommend one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korben Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 thanks guys!on my clear one now, i have a clear pinlock on it, can i take this out and put it in the dark visor or are these only use once? Possible to swap em mate, but removal and insert are a time when a visor can easily be broken. Plus the pinlock has a film on the inside which helps with the misting.... Would be better to get one for both visors..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest philgale Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 what style lid have you got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korben Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 One thing mate...... Dark, Irridium, mirrored visors are NOT street legal.... Get a visor bag and always carry your clear one around with you. It's a good bargaining tool should a cop pull you about it.Most are ok though as long as you ain't dumb enough to use them in bad weather or the dark.

bigup Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 Should i go for the Genuine Shoei visor or the TT replacement visor?Shoei Black doesn't come with free visor bag, but the TT Black does plus its cheaper.not sure if TT quality is good though? anyone like to comment?Thanks!

Korben Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 The TT one is probably thinner and more prone to smashing... Big stone, smashed visor, plastic in eyeball!!Get the Shoei one mate... Great quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
