The day I went to pick up my bike it was getting on the nippy side and 5 minutes after I left it started pissing down. I had to pick it up from Ballarat and had 1.5 hours of wet & windy freeway ahead of me with a bike 3 times the size of my previous bike. The ZX7R felt very planted though.

Could I really resist going fast? My first ever ride on a bike bigger than a two fiddy. No.. hell no.. I could not resist it.

Rain X on your visor helps the water to bead straight off.

With rainX be careful as it can ruin the visor, mine went all foggy :oops: some plastics are different to others so unlike me try a tiny bit up in the corner of the visor first ;)

Edit: Do not put RAIN X on your visor!

You are right Jonno. I have been using it on my tinted AGV visor and have not noticed anything.. However, I have come to realise my clear visor is now foggy because of the rain X. Oh well.. lesson learned.
