Black Visors

An oldie but a goodie.

I wear a Black visor when the weather permits it and I carry a clear one to swap.

Just wondered what everyone else did. I apologize if this has been done recently.

Thanks for reminding me that I need to get a new visor (black) before the summer gets under way. Current one has seen better days!

Got an illegal tint that I'll wear when it's bright, a legal one that I wear most of the time and a clear one that I hardly ever use.

I find the legal tint is quite good at night when it's 'town' dark - ie. plenty of streetlights as it actually cuts a lot of the glare from oncoming vehicles. Hit the proper 'country' dark, it's time for the clear one.

The elmit i have currently (flip up one) has a built in visor thing thats controlled from a lever at the side, tis ace and very practical + as dark as the illegal ones but legal because its not the primary visor, best of both really Smile

I use a light reactive visor insert at the mo, which is ok but doesn't really go dark enough. The old lazer had a built in dark visor, which was nice but again wasn't dark enough.

I don't do brightness. Not at all.

I use a black (illegal) visor whenever it's sunny. I also have one of those light reactive visor inserts in my other visor. It's not too bad, it cuts down a good deal of glare

Hmm I use a silver one to match my helmet. Very Happy

Not road legal though I don't think.

I had gold inserts in last year to match my helmet. Cool

Probably get them again this year, it's just a pain getting them cut to fit but it does look cool. All gold! Twisted Evil

Currently a light reactive insert but tbh it's about time I got a new lid. Just need to find the money Mad

I used to use a light reactive insert, but it came unstuck. Sad

I'm just squint when it gets sunny now. Laughing

I have a cursed iridium visor.

Every time I put it on it goes from really sunny to raining the second I step out the door. It's happened every single day so far. Evil or Very Mad

I've never been stopped for wearing a black visor, I do try to be sensible though. I ride past a Police station every day to and from work and haven't had any hassle, yet.

Would have to ge a right arsehole of a cop to do you in daylight for a dark visor especially if you're carrying a clear one.

The one time I got pulled over the copper commented on my visor insert saying"Did you not see on the packaging it said they were illegal," to which I replied "No officer I just put it in last night and the packaging says it is the 'legal alternative' to a tinted visor."

I have never been pulled for wearing my black visor, but I do try to be sensible with it. For instance, when I go to the football on a Saturday I tend not to wear it as there are lots and lots of traffic police about Shifty

What exactly is the difference between the legal and illegal tints? Beats me as to whether mines legal or not! Confused

I use a hyperoptics visor insert for the time being, it cuts down the glare but as said, it doesn't cut down on the glare enough. Black one, come summertime Smile
