Tinted Visors

chaps.... im getting a dark tinted visor for my Shoei TZ-R but notice that there seems to be a large variation in cost. Is there much difference in ppl's opinion? anyone know a good cheap one to get cos some of them are as dear as poison.

ok just watched a vid and looks like it needs to be polycarb rather than acrylic for strength....

Flamin heck, $90 for a visor..... shit...

My HJC tinted one was something like $70 so yeah they are expensive

I got my Shoei tinted visor for about $90. First visor/helmet combo Ive owned that doesnt feel like you need to break the side covers off to change visors (of which I do on a daily basis). My Doohan Arai tinted visor was $110

Visors for my 'Shark' carbon are around the $90 mark too... they're 3mm thick as opposed to whatever the 'normal' ones are...

Yeah they are dear but treated properly will last for years .Nothing like a good clean visor . Grit your teeth when you hand over the money, and then
go wow i'm glad i bought this .

Yeah. Same here, it was around the $70-$80 mark for my KBC Dark tint.

Just picked up a new one today...... $80 for my Shark Vision R

yep, got one too, not cheap but worth every penny....

How do you guys clean yours?
Iuse the cleaning liquid and cloth that came with my reading glasses....

I use windex or similar and a soft cotton cloth (the old type of baby nappies or cotton toweling rags are great & won`t scratch clear / tinted plastic )
motor accessories shops sell cotton toweling cloths as well

Windex for me too.
Although this is likely to start another "which oil" type debate

i carry LCD cleaning kit i got from joyce mayne $8 cleaning solution and microfibre cloth and there all large works good too

I have Rjays Helmets

Tinted Visors 29.95
Iridium Visors 39.95

When I bought Jan her new Shark for Xmas I spent a long time hagling with the salesperson. Fisrt to get a good discount on the helmet, then again on the price of a dark tint extra visor, ( half price ). I like to polish my visors with Rain X. They come up crystal clear and if you do get caught in a shower you just tilt your head and the water beads off.

alright, looks like thats around the mark then. now i know how $$$$$ they are, i might have to clean up my clear one and take a bit more care of it.

Rain X antifog is one of the better ones as well for winter .

Is that tinted for the outside or a new inside one?
I think the inside screen could be darker but I haven't been able to find replacements yet

My skid lid for the last couple of years is the HJC IS16, very happy, a Nolan open face keeps it company (only has $h1t sunnies with that one...)

max no the out side, i accidentally broke one of the tabs taking it off to clean it ( was not happy ) the flip down inner is great yeah it could be darker but its actually no darker than my bolle sunnies which keep sliding down my nose. honestly i do not think i would ever buy another hemet without it

mr sheen is good for cleaning - and never wipe it with your hand in the rain

lol, mine is already scratched to hell from wiping bugs of with my glove while riding.... I'll have to look after the new one properly when I get it

I use the same thing. Then top up the cleaning fluid with a metho/water mix. If it's really crappy I'll use Ajax Window cleaner or Mr Sheen (actually I use the home brand version).
