    Damn that would be very dangerous indeed. Imagine crashing, doing a faceplant, getting your nose or face sticking on the visor while unconscious. You'll be cooked by the time the ambo came around.

    Stick with the Pinlock system. They're the best, not a drop of fog even when you breathe on the visor (the breath smell stays though).

    Best of Pinlock, they are transferrable, reusable, washable, and no glue involved. Not too expensive too. And can be used on any helmets. Available in clear and tinted.
    ??? Why would it be dangerous for Motorbike helmets if Snowmobile helmets have them standard...???

    I'm guessing it would be like the demister on your cars rear window... even after having the demister on for a couple hours the window is still reasonably cold...

    HJC, CANAM, Arai and Shoei have the electric sheild replacement visor.

    Here's the range of HJC electric visors.

    Would love to see snowmobiles going 110kph on hard tarmac in busy traffic.

    I like this idea. Very sensible thinking. Give that man an orang-utan.

    So, the idea's a good one, just need to execute it.

    Years ago, before cars had heated rear windows as standard, we used to be able to get stick on heated strips that we stuck on (duh). That would work.

    Hm.I sense the solder iron calling to me.

    I have seen it done before on the Ghost Rider vids...

    http://www.streetracersonline.com/videos/ghostrider/

    The snowmobile he was riding had the skies at the front replaced with wheels and the metal link tracks replaced with rubber tracks...

    It was fucking quick going down the motorway passing cars and going down the median strip to get away from the cops also did burn outs on it round a mini roundabout till the tread came off then he abandoned it and jumped in to the car that was filming it and took off...

    Have you guys not seen the Ghost Rider vids of the guy in Black gear going all out on bikes and running away from the cops... judging by the name on the police cars I'm guessing its in Italy as they said Politcia.

    I remember one where he was riding a twin turbo Hyabusa down an abandoned air strip doing a wheelie the hole way at 300+kms.

    Gona try and dig them outa my box'o'old stuff and circulate them round to local bikers...

    My old man has a Schubert helmet thats probably around 15 years old that he had a heated visor fitted to.
    He got it done by a private business back when he lived in Germany.
    And no they don't get hot, its just warm enough for getting rid of fog, plugs into the accesory plug thing, ideal for Brass monkey etc

    Will try to get pic later.

    Great. A bunch of cables to forget to disconnect before one dismounts or walks away from the helmet one has just placed on the back seat of one's bike.

    Heated visors were an option on BMW System 3 helmets so they were existed for bike helmets at one stage.

    Wire to the bike power supply would be a pain but maybe a little wind driven generator - could be made out a small brush-type DC motor (ie slot car motor) - velcro attached to the helmet so it would break away in a crash... yeah that would work.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    pinlock or a fog city ( HJC does their own equivalent ) and breathe through your NOSE . HJC do a double layered visor for snowmobiles, essentially the same end product as a fog city/pinlock setup .......
