my question is are black visors not ideal for a new rider in terms of visibility etc ?

thing is they look so much better than the standard clear one !!!

During in the day its like wearing sunglasses.

If you plan on being out all night have a clear one with you or ride with it up like a real man Wink

I recommend the dark smoke as iridium gets messed up far to quickly.

On the note of the HG sale, I spotted lots of leather bargains in there today, Arlen ness roo suit for 500 quid, TFL 2 jacket for 120 etc. Fuck all trousers though Sad

Seconded - my iridium visor gets scratched so easily I can't even wipe it with my glove without risking it - so it's a "dry day" only visor! The scratches don't look much from outside but on the inside they are really obvious white marks against the yellowish iridium-coated sections.
I'll be getting a dark smoke/black next as if you scratch the plastic then it's still the same colour.

They look wicked and in terms of visibility, if you ever have trouble, just lift the visor up for a bit. Only you will know if you're OK with it, so you need to try it for yourself really. I personally love it.

I had a black visor from day one. Not had a problem with it.


You are also partially crippled and have a smashed up bike right? Laughing

I have one but now it's winter I don't wear it as it gets dark too quickly, great for the day poor for night. (Obviously)
