1. Spit on it ....... the inside of the visor, I mean. And not a big green slimy poc - just normal spit, then wipe it over the surface till its dry.
It's what scuba divers do on their face masks.

2. Dish washing liquid ..... found this totally by accident on a tour of Tassie many years ago. While using it to clean the bugs off the outside
of the visor, I used a clean tissue and the dwl on the inside, and next morning NO FOG !

HTH ..
I've spent over 40 years of my life riding bikes .... the rest of it, I wasted ..
If it's got wheels or tits, it's gonna give you trouble !

I use Pinlock on my Shoei. I'll never go back to a liquid system again. I used to use catcrap, but I found it wore of real quick and didn't work especially well up here anyway. It was good for cool spring mornings, but as soon as the fog and cold weather arrived, it really struggled. I've still got an almost new tub if you want it :D

i still gotta get another visor to.. only have the clear.. gotta figure out how to remove it to. the arai i have has covers over the visor ends.

I heard before that dish washing liquid works but i think i read on another post here that they contain salts that arnt good for the visor.

jpaddo yeah i'll be keen but i'm in vic.

pinlocks and drilling holes in visors looks dodgy to me

I got mine the same way, pre installed. You can get the visor with just the posts installed, or with the insert as well. I have heard it is a bit of a pain to try and fit these yourself, so its probably cheaper in the long run to just get the visor pre installed. If it was illegal, they wouldn't be able to sell them.
