Visor fogging

[mia_wallace]

Hello

I have been riding a little while but am still unsure about how to keep my visor from fogging up, especially in the wet rain. I came into welly not long ago when it was torrential and it felt pretty damn dangerous lol. Any help appreciated.

oh and hello everyone! im a student at Vic got a red scorpio to start on =)

Hello there, and welcome to KB...! :niceone:

There are several treatments for visors, which will reduce fogging. Available at any bike shop.

The best I've tried is a compound called Cat Crap (no, I'm not kidding). Smear a small amount inside the visor, and polish it in. It may require a couple or more applications to be fully effective.

Also, if you can, try riding with your visor open just a whisker.

Yep Cat Crap's great.

Buy it at motorbike shops.

I have heard that toothpaste thinly spread also works, plus it adds a hint of minty freshness.

Hiya and Welcome to KB! :wavey:

Cat crap is very good - I used to use white vinegar and a little cold water, on both the outside and inside and I never had any fog! (on my glasses however :shit:.....)..

But again riding with ya visor open one click also works while you are stationary!

Good luck and happy riding!! :ride:

Fog City insert inside visor. Works better on brand new visor.

I have an antifog visor but still a sod when ya glasses fog instead! Cat crap gets my vote too, it's great.

Is there any other kind?

There' also a product by MCR Safety. Pre moistened towelettes, anti fog, anti static. Designed for safety and ordinary glasses, so safe for visors.

awesome looks like ill be getting me some of that, my poor bike is in the garage this week so I cant wait to get it back!:yes:

[Okey Dokey]

A tiny drop of dish washing liquid smeared on the inside of your visor and then buffed till clear is an economical option, too.

Hi Mia. Some helmets fog a lot worse than others. My cheapo FFM fogs terribly compared to our other HJC helmets.

I just click the visor open when under 80k, and keep it clean and waxed. Sounds like cat crap is teh shit though. :laugh:

even with my shoei xr-1000 it fogged heaps in the dense rain yesterday in auckland, was pretty much riding blind :doh:, i must get me some cat's crap this weekend!

I am going to give a foggy mask a go.
Looks like I will have to bring it in from the Uk. Should have done it a month ago when it would have cost me less that $50 but now I think it will be more.

Hi Mia. Been out with Vincent lately? Danced the twist? Overdosed and had to be struck in the heart with an adrenaline shot?

Another vote here for Cat Crap - it's definitely good stuff. Depending what sort of helmet you have, many of the better brands offer a pinlock visor insert which work extremely well (I've got one of these and I'm really impressed with it). Fog City inserts are a similar solution which I've heard good things about but haven't personally used.
The foggy mask that wysper mentioned looks good too, Arai and I think Shoei and probably some other brands offer a similar product that works well too.
