Here for the arcade.
A mate of mine was going on about getting a tinted visor. When I eventually see it, it's no darker than my playstation tan. He said this was cause fully tinted visors had been outlawed, following similar rules to tinted windows in cars.
Is this true? Because it sounds ridiculous.

Never had a prob with mine.

No, still perfectly legal afaik. Local Suzuki dealer sells them, I and most of my friends if not all ride with one.

Do you use a light tint or a dark tint? Oh and the brand of helmet would help too. Thanks...Originally Posted by onearmedbandit

Mine has a chrome mirror finish and has been purchased in last 3 months...
It's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.

So far so good.
I normally have a good idea of what the rules are. I didn't think I would miss that had it come into effect.

Didn't you have that problem with an imported pommy cop, that was using the UK law here?

Bought a dark smoke Shoei visor 'bout a month ago. Pitch black from the outside when worn - not a problem.

The Arai visors are now selling at about $160 or so. Bloody expensive I reckon - might just have to wait for that one...

I've never had an issue (except I can't swap now, cos I can't get the clear one off) - I know the dark one has "not for daytime use" or some such written on it.

You can get them in different levels of darkness an also different colours as well as the iridium ones.
They are daytime use in the UK, but there's no legislation in NZ unless they wanted to call them tinted car windows in which case there is an index detailing how much light they must let through.
Mates talk shit. Don't listen to them.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Mate's just bought himself a dud visor.
I'll have to break the news to him.

When i bought my helmet I got a smoked one which is the darkest for my shoei but you can still see through it from the outside a bit. I have noticed the Arais are pitch black but I haven't seen any other shoeis with tinted visors that I have had a good look at.

It's not against the law to have a dark visor.

My concern is my own ability to see - say into dark areas when coming from a bright area. Bad enough with a clear visor especially when the sun is low (I ride a lot in the early mornings).
I'd like to try the different levels of tint on my helmet and check 'em out for myself but the shop doesn't have any that I can try - they are all covered with protective film and the shoppies are reluctant to pull it off for a test run...
Maybe I ought to go talk directly with Dolds...I sure as hell ain't about to shell out $160 for something I haven't tried...
