New Visors

[S1417]

I'm looking at getting either a tinted or iridium visor for my Shoei Qwest but was wondering if anyone knows of any after market companies that produce visors? £70 for the genuine Shoei iridium ones

I have a had a look around and came across this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371342666818?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT but not sure if they'd be any good.

So yeah if anyones got any experience with any it'd be good to hear

45 quid here

Cheers for that. £45 seems about the best for a tinted one

Is there any benefit of the iridium visors over a normal tint or is it purely an aesthetic thing?

The tinted ones for my Shark Speed R seem to be around the £70 mark more or less everywhere...
That's silly money for a visor, doesn't even come with a pinlock insert for that.

If its the iridium one ie looks like a mirror they're not worth it I got one and within 2 months it was ruined its just a very fine sheet on top of a clearish visor so rubs away and scratches easily

I'm looking for a darker visor really. I only really ride when the weathers good and have been finding the flip
down thing a bit ineffective when it's very bright and sunny. It also pisses me off because it can steam up even
when the visor hasn't.

Racevisors.co.uk are a pleasure to deal with.
I think I've bought about 8 visors over the years from these guys, one of them i bought about 4 years ago had a small scratch, i could easily have lived with it but seeing as it was brand new and should have been mint i pinged them an email and they sent me a new one, they told me to keep the other.

A+++ will buy again

[S1417]

Okay thanks for all the suggestions. I think I'll just order one from race visors as everyone seems to rate them well

I suppose it's better to buy the genuine quality item and know it'll fit and work properly

Another recommendation for racevisors.co.uk, they're fantastic.

I've used them several times. One of the times was when I bought a visor bag/pouch to keep a spare visor safe, except the visor didn't fit, nor did any of the other visors from the 3 other helmets I had. So emailed them and said could I return it in exchange for a different (Pinlock) visor bag and I'd pay the difference which was like £8.

They sent the more expensive one out straight away, arrived the next day, didn't charge me extra and told me to keep/bin the one that was no good and thanks for letting them know they'd look into it.

Dunno if still holds true or not but I remember getting told that iridium visors drew the wrath of the cops.

Ive got a dark tinted one though and all's been well

I use smoked visors and iridium (gold) all the time and have never been pulled.

I ride IAM with some being ex motorcycle coppers and no ones ever mentioned anything?

I clean my HJC iridium by leaving a wet bit of kitchen roll over it for a while then a general wipe with soapy water and its still looking good.

For that price I'd buy it and see.

Just as an update. I never got round to ordering one but was riding past my local Honda dealer today so thought I'd pop in. They did the genuine visor for just under £40

So yeah if anyone's looking for a cheaper visor the local dealer might be worth a shot

[Accuhaler]

Please for the love of god don't get a tinted visor. Just get a pinlock ready visor...

Visor site looks good.

" Please note only the Clear Visors are EC2205 approved "

What does this mean in reference to a visor and not a helmet?

I bought a blue iridium visor from race visors. They're ok until they get scratched and I could never seem to get a decent seal with the pinlock.
I've now changed back to my original clear screen with a ProtecTINT insert, not as good looking but much better vision.
