Carrying a clear visor

[Dracan]

I've just bought a black visor for my helmet. When it gets dark, it's too dark to see through, so I want to carry my clear visor around with me just incase. Also, I believe coppers don't mind black visors as much if you've got your clear visor with you (is this true?). My problem is that a visor wouldn't last two minutes in my backpack. Does anyone else carry their clear visor around with them? And what do you put the visor in as protection?

Cheers,
Dan.

I always carry my clear visor if I have my dark one on. You can get specific visor pouches, a bit like a bum bag. Your local bike shops will probably have them.

Used this for a few years now, with no problems.

I can slip mine inside my leathers even though I'm a fat bastard

or later in the year it goes nicely inside a goretex jacket


(in the little visor pouch obviously)



and SOME coppers MAY overlook the black visor if you have a clear one with you - of course, that depends what else you have been doing you naughty boy

I've been told a trick with a clear visor is to slip a sock over it to protect it in a bag. Never actually seen anyone use this though.

As said there are bumbags available with a lined pocket for a visor.

my local halfords is even stocking Oxford bumbags with a soft/padded visor holder, or a simple visor only bumbag style holder.

the bumbag is ideal for me, as my leathers have only one internal pocket, and that's it... so I put the autocom unit, mp3 player, sunglasses, wallet, phone, house-keys etc in the bumbag when I'm out

Yeah I've heard that myself that coppers are more fairer on you if you've got a clear visor spare. Depends if you get an arsey one mind

Was going to get a black visor for my helmet until I asked at my local shop and they charge about £30 for a replacement one Not too bothered though as there's a little flip down dark visor insde the helmet which is handy.

Stick it in a sock and put it around your waist, above your hip. Job done.

Just stick it in the boot . Forewarned though, this option may require the use of a substantial amount of ky Jelly or some other water based lubricant. Oh yeah and a lot of pushing, breathing and squealing like a pig

Or you could just wear the black one when it's light, and wear the clear one when it's likely to get dark. A bit ground-breaking, but it works wonders for me
