Are these any good?

I'm after a tinted one for my helmet and a genuine Shoei one is like £45 trade price! There is an aftermarket one on eBay, polycarbonate for £25-30 but do they fit well/ last?

I've always used them. www.racevisors.co.uk is where I got mine from, and J&S (cause they're naughty) but I dont think you'll get one from there anymore.
Don't have any problem with 'em. love mine.

There are some on ebay

I don't wear glasses and struggle with cheap safety specs (#), so I would be wary of putting anything cheap and optical in front of my eyes for a long period. Just my Penny Coin Penny Coin

(#) I tend to get a sore head after a couple of hours.

While I agree with you about cheap safety specs, (they are horrible), I have bought helmets that cost less than that visor, and never had a problem with the visors supplied with them. £60 for a visor is just taking the piss.

£60 is rediculous and so is £45 at trade. I have my clear as well if it does turn out to be crap but I'd like to see what people say
