Visor Vision!

[Al]

I have a black FFM VGS helmet, super airflow and fog control. I tend to ride a lot in the rain to work and and back - from Birkdale (North Shore) to east Tamaki.

I used to have a FFM something-or-other helemt, so much wind leakage around the visor, it never fogged. Of course it was noisy. I replaced it with a Shoei which fogs easy but is mucho quiet. I think I'd rather have less fog though

[mccool]

I rate the Fog City highly. I've got one on a high end Shoei. The are delicate though, very easy to scratch even with soft cloth.

I've had a Fog City on my Shoei XVR for a couple of years now (on my clear visor) and swear by it. It does distort very slightly, but you quickly get used to it. When I wear my mirror visor on a cool day I really miss the FC, but the visor is really too old to put one on - they work best on new or very nearly new visors.

The only time it didn't work 100% was one morning in mid winter, it was about zero degrees and it fogged very slightly, but not nearly as much as if I didn't have it. Apart from that one time, it's worked brilliantly.

I'm getting a new Shoei XR1000 soon, and will be getting a Fog City on both my clear and mirror visors. (I need new visors as the old ones are a slightly different fitting).

A couple of our mates have the Nolan pinlock system and have had problems with the inside bit falling off the visor, though the pins stayed there. This was on fairly new visors, not old worn ones.

OK, I've used them all.
Nolan pin-lock is the best, full stop.
Fog city is next, but does cause a bit of double reflection at night. You get used to it. Get the Shoei edition it has better adhesive than the standard. cleans up easy with glass cleaner and soft cloth.
ProGrip light sensitive shield is good at not fogging, but tends to fall off, reflection at night is worse than the Fog City because it is spaced out further from the visor, and the photsensivity doesn't last long. It is also a bastard to clean.
My 2c worth (plus gst)

The pins are eccentric. The insert may fall out if not fitted correctly. The insert in my N100 is tighter than a scotsman in a shout.

My Nolan never fogs either,great helmet,although I've never riden in the rain with it.

Cruzer - the L Plate status is a reflection of your riding ability...when you join this site we all go and watch you ride,in secret,then asign your status...the general consensus was you can't ride for shit,hence the L Plate - sharpen your act mate,stop looking at yourself in Bank windows and get that knee down!

So the "Loose Pre Unit" is an accurate title then!

I wonder what status the Cincinnati Kid (Wkid_1) began on??

Mate, my pegs, handlebars, pipes and all would drag before I could get my knee anywhere near the ground.
The "Hero Tabs" on the end of my footpegs do however show some signs of spark throwing wear.
