We had some light rain this morning so the roads were a bit greasy. Still glad I was on a bike as the traffic was pretty bad on the M6.

If you can get a pin lock visor, there are also fog city inserts of you can get a pin lock. The other thing you could try is cleaning up the inside of the visor with washing up liquid.Fireblade_Ro wrote: I'm struggling a lot with steaming up visor... help!!!
I'm sure done of the other all year riders will come up with other suggestions.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I think the helmet I was using before this year had pin lock visors... and inserts... this one was a cheap, quick buy to replace one I broke... how can I tell if it will take a pin lock visor? Its a Shark Nasty if that helps!

If it's the S700 then it should be pinlock

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
In that case... it has a pin lock. How does having a pin lock stop your visor steaming?

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I was just about to say the same, there are plenty of vids on line... Here is one for example, gives a pretty good explanation.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
You make a compelling case to come out riding! Haha!! Let's see what Sunday holds weather wise if it's to be fine then I'll fill up for Sunday! As for your visor, definitely go for pinlock. Your visor should have to little, well almost like buttons in either side of your visor where you can clip your Pinlock into. Very good bit of kit well worth the money.Fireblade_Ro wrote:I'll fill your tank if you'll come ride Lets see how the weather is on Sunday... and what your time constraints are like.

Japan stuff just works.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Can't seem to find the right place for sticking the adhesive mounts to the fairing for the go pro. I need the mount to be able to be moulded go the size I need it to be!! I am going to try my helmet! Instead as gone off the idea of going into the fairing itself now!

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
On another note I came out of the gym went over to my dad's and found out he had cracked his sump! I took a look and he has managed to overtighten the bolt and it has created a massive crack in the bottom plate. He had been trying to find a garage or mobile mechanic to be able to sort this out but in the end had to go to the local dealer as they can fit him in in the next few days! Poor bloke is really upset about it, he has done this job a million times before never had a problem and now this happens! Think it will scare him off for a little while as a 30 quid job has now turned into a 300quid job haha!!
