Re: visor fogging up
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 ..

Re: visor fogging up
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 

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.

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.

Re: visor fogging up
isnt altering any helmet or part of your helmet ilegal?
pinlocks and drilling holes in visors looks dodgy to me

No worries mateJPaddo wrote:Well I can report that the pinlocks are AWESOME. Thanks Nosferatu for convincing 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.JPaddo wrote:I have a shoei with the pinlocks pre-installed, just had to buy the insert.dickfaber wrote:isnt altering any helmet or part of your helmet ilegal?
