A genuine mirrored visor for my Shoei would set me back around £50 but managed to pick one up online for £19+pp.
Its predrilled for the PinLock and works and fits as it should .... however
I noticed during a ride out today, that the area where the PinLock is drilled has cracked and split.
Lesson learned I know and I've since run a line of superglue over the crack to see me through until I find a genuine one
Just something else for the Christmas list

Re: Cheap Visors
The number of times I've had stones and road debris hit my visor means I would not risk a cheap one.

Re: Cheap Visors
Absolutely true and I brought it on a whim a few months back.

Try racevisors.co.uk
I've bought from there a few times, either genuine of decent quality. I've never had a problem with their visors.

Re: Cheap Visors
Same as Nutz, I had a race visor with tear off posts for trackdays that was bought from racevisors, no problems at all despite catching large chunks of rubber, a flying insect the size of your thumb, several stones and a few nuts / bolts. It eventually died being scraped across the track at Cadders.
It deffo wasn't genuine Arai and lets face it holes for t.o. posts are bigger than pin lock holes so in my limited experience it was a good visor. If there was a problem, it was that mine was sold without the little sliding black widget that is attached to the lower left of the visor, I had to rob that from the old scratched visor it replaced.

Re: Cheap Visors
Agreed with everyone else it has to be genuine equipment. I would beg the question what testing do the copied items under go ?
Used these and would recommend.
