I want to find the darkest visor possible for my hemet, its an x lite x601 like so.

I can only find slightly dark visors for it, i want it as black as possible, so that it can't be seen through from outside even a tiny bit.

Karma for the winner Thumbs Up

(plus bonus Karma if you can find one for under £35 inc. p+p)

In the pics black sometimes looks lighter than they are.

Best bet is finding a shop or someone with a very dark one saying where they got it from.

Remember that when it's on the helmet then no light will be coming from the inside, not like the picture.

I wanted the same, and asked for a black visor in the shop
when they brought it out it didnt look very black to me
Get it on the helmet though and unless you are facing direct sunlight it cant be seen through

Tried to take some pics but crappy camera phone isnt all that great TBH

Still, attached. You can see how light it looks off and on the helmet

They look nice, but the jury is out on build quality
All weather rider here and the vents at the front have started to rust very slightly. Not the sort of quality you expect for the price tag of 170 ish when i got mine.

Still, very nice looking helmet IMO.
Will let you know in a few months if i should have gone for the Arai one with blue dragon design. Smile

Just a squirt of wd40 keeps it protected. Had mine well over a year and had no issues with it.
