Tinted visor in the night - Solution

[Stella]

I have been wondering if it was possible to get the top half of the visor tinted... THANKS SO MUCH for the tip of the "Sunblocker"!!

I suffer so much in the bright light and use my sunglasses almost always when riding. But you do get those times you forgot your sunglasses or the sun is hitting your face just right so you get massive double reflections of your face on your visor and sunglasses....

Is it possible to get this in NZ or just through the US company? I am googling but haven't found anything local yet.

Yeah the tint can get bubbles cos it doesn't stretch easily but it's not too bad. Duct tape works a treat and if thats too rangi for ya a signwriter can do vinyl to fit real sweet.

The picture is my old lid with one layer of tint inside and one outside. The layers are staggered as you can see and the bubbles only look lighter from the side the tint isn't on so I did the lower layer inside.

Yep, same problem. I got my visor changed to a gradual tint one. I can look down for strong sunlight and up for night riding. Easier than it sounds.

The static cling film doesn't leave any air bubbles at all if you dont rush fitting it and will give you great clarity, It's also reusable 100s of times.

Personally use a clear visor and some $20 gas station wrap-around sunnies.
As for keepin the rain off, i have had Rain-X recommended to me (available from warehouse, repco etc). It says on the label not to use on plastics unless approved, but apparently people have used it without troubles. (Havent got around to putting it on mine yet, so dont quote me on that! )

Where do you get that stuff from? Sounds like an excellent idea to me ( an uneducated dumbass ).
