Black visors

[Mr Pants!]

Running on the theme of the illegal riding post, this is another area I am interested to know.

If you do , have you been done for wearing one? If so, what fines/points were issued?

I used to have an OGK with the black tear offs which were legal. I now have a shoei xr1000 with a black visor. I put my safety over stupid laws.......do you know even blind pillions can't use black visors...........

[Mr C]

always carry a clear one


I never do but I reckon it would go a long way of you did get pulled on a sunny day

How about a 'sometimes' option?

I do when it's sunny enough to warrant one, the rest of the time I use a semi-tint which is legal (during the day anyway ).

Black Visor on lid, clear visor in visor bag around my waist.

For a short time I did try using visor inserts but they didn't work too well and when you removed the tinted one for night time use, it lost all stickyness and left sticky patches on my visor.
It takes all of about a minute to change the visor over, no hassle at all really.

I use a Caberg helmet that has a built in sun visor, I just operate the slider on the side to use it when it' too sunny.

I have a tinted lense for my oakley goggles just like these:

But in a Motocross Helmet, I guess you can't see them to well. Not even sure if they're legal or illegal actually. Would be intresting to find out.

I have an iridium visor that I bought from SummY but it's now completely fooked, the iridium coating has come off and looks tatty

Whilst working in my garage though I found a blue insert that I bought when I first started biking.

They are crap inserts, but what I done has improved it a lot. I took my spare clear visor and fitted the insert into it then seloatped it neatly in, so theres no gaps between the visor and insert, so it doesn't flap about or anything! It looks pretty good for what it is I guess, and the good thing is the iridium will always stay in good condition as it's behind the clear layer.

Think I'll leave it like that for now as it looks decent enough and works fine so should be ok even if its a bit tatty with the selotape and stuff, it works so that's all that matters

Would you not love to meet the prick in government that decided on this ruling for visors? Bet he has never ridden a bike!

Many police officers will turn a blind eye to black and tinted visors in weather like this, Only when its dark or visability is low will they do something (no rider is stupid enough to do that though are they?)

[dainesefreak]

TC - Good to see there's plenty of milage left in this one yet. It's starting to sound like, dare I say it, MCN! Arrrggghh.

Has there been any more movement on the argument yet, other than we want them legalized and they don't?

[Zx6man]

Zero, If you use an open face helmet, this has no eye protection, so glasses don't need to be BSi approved. On a full face lid though, with a visor, if you ride along with visor open then you are breaking the law, as your glasses aren't bsi approved...if that makes sense..
