Price of visors

Post by duke63 »

The price of a new visor plus a pinlock for my Shoei comes to £90 (gah)

Almost tempted to look at a new helmet instead.

Shoei visors do tend to be expensive. They're thicker than a lot of other manufacturers and very good quality optically so I've read.

Having just seen the Fake Boobs thread on PBmagforum and seen Patrik's photos of his latest g/f, i may indeed need varifocal visors very soon. :D

I've got a spare clear visor for a Shoei NXR knocking round somewhere if that happens to fit?

I got hooked up with a few Bob Heath visors for my Suomy lids...well, 'lid' (now!)......Not 'quite' as good as OEM, but only on the edges, if that makes sense....they're a touch thicker, so that messes with the edges a bit. It's not like you'd notice it unless you had the two to compare.

Fraction of the cost, and better optics.
