What a tw*t!

[M.C]

Pinlocks are horrible at night, and only help so much with steaming up. My Bell lid without is as good as my Nitro was with a pinlock.

[ackack]

I also had the yellow pinlock
In my defence, on the packet it did say they did different colours and I assumed I had the yellow one. Felt a right plum in the bike shop when someone asked me if the vision was a bit blurry.

This thread is amazing

Even i've not done that with pinlock. I have however done the nearly as stupid ridden off with disc lock still on....a couple of times

got a pinlock and respro foggy (stops glasses fogging), with the respro probably wouldn't need the pinlock, however combined guarantees no fogging on visor or glasses

I'm surprised at the people who say their pinlock is steaming up. I've had them for 6 years and they have never steamed up, and I'm a right sweaty fucker in the summer. The visor all the way around the pinlock is steamed up and sometimes even wet, but the pinlock stays dry and perfectly clear.

I know it's difficult sometimes, but it really sounds like installation error to me. Just adjust the screws if they're starting to lift and the seal is breaking.

I've tried to start the bike with the kill switch off a few times, mainly because my mate finds it hilarious to knock it when I'm not around.

I find they can steam up too - on the inside surface (towards my face, not the surface towards the visor). Still better than nothing, although I've found the on on my Schuberth c3pro to be a real pain to seal - it's fine for a day or two, then needs reseating. No amount of twiddling has sorted it, and this visor steams up horribly if I don't use it. It seems that the curvature of the visor is just wrong.

The one on my shark didn't need tweaking anywhere near as much, but still needed the respro to be fully clear - and using the non-pinlock visor with the respro last winter was just as good (I bought a new pinlock fit that helmet but never got around to fitting it).

[Holdawayt]

That might be why, I've only ever had AGV helmets with quite a shallow curve to the visor. I can see why a deep curve could perhaps disturb the pinlock and create a shite seal.

The pinlock has been fine on my HJC now for nearly 3 years, but it was put on a brand new visor and the whole process was kept 100% clean. I have never taken it off and would not expect it to reseal properly if I did.

I suppose they are fine if treated as a permanent part of the visor.

Mine's showing signs of scratching and abrasion now, and I was only considering replacement last night, but I think I will now have a closer look and see if I can peel off any unnoticed protective film for a bonus new lease of life!

I removed my pinloc last Friday. It had been fine for 3 months without issue and then it failed when i needed it mostest.

torrential rain on the m4 at night time rush hour. The entire pinloc cavity(if you can call it that) steamed up and no amount of wipeing or riding with visor open would sort it

im not so sure why i even bothered with it as at motorway speeds the steam isnt an issue. a brief open and shut of the visor tends to sort it out

This is the second pinloc ive had. The first kept slipping down and letting moisture in.
