Visor Vision V2 Sponge
Discussion
These things are amazing. Like any great idea, they are simple and you wish you thought of it - but somebody else did.
A YouTube video of it is here - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=tWPZ0T3o5Q0 but basically it's an orange watertight sealed packet containing a sponge, that you moisten with water and then seal in the air tight orange packet; this keeps the sponge damp for when you need it. You also get a couple of cleaning cloths as well, along with a second sealed packet to put the cloths in and the sealed orange pack containing the damp sponge.
You can then stop and clean your visor using the damp sponge, dry it off with one of the cloths and then clean the sponge with water from anywhere where you can get some water - popping the sponge back in the packet when you are done. It's brilliant and I used it yesterday and today, then cleaned the sponge out/remoistened it using the free water you can get from a petrol station.
The whole lot is kept underneath my leathers and if you are unfortunate enough to fall on the packet, the section of sponge won't hurt at all.
Great product and they work out a couple of pounds each - http://www.v2sponge.co.uk
Soss

I don't really see the need to be perfectly honest. For emergency bug splattage I will keep a few baby wipes in a sealed bag but generally speaking bog roll and water does the job if I'm away and if who ever I'm visiting has any soap or washing up liquid I'm laughing.
Glad you like them though.

Another option is an artificial shammy leather from Halfords or such, cut it in half its a to large, rinse it in water and leave it pretty wet; chuck it in a freezer bag or such with the zip lock type sealer chuck under your seat or in your bum bag or whatever you carry... hey presto one long lasting cheap on the go visor cleaner.
Beats the sponge as it got a much larger surface area so you can wipe off all the nasty bugs dirt etc and use the other side thats not covered in dead bugs wtc to wipe without scratching the visor.
They out last the sponges as well so they pay for them selfs over the year/years, you can wash the artifical ones in the washing machine as well. If you keep it clean and dont let it dry right out they last for a long time.

Have you ever thought about just how much bacteria will be growing on your moist sponge, soaked in dead fly gunge (they eat s
t your know...) and tucked in a nice humid bag inside your warm leathers?
You then pull it out, probably holding it in your teeth at some stage while you're faffing with the helmet, then use your bare hands to massage more bug paste into it before nipping over to the burger van for an offal roll?
That sore stomach/runny arse combination after your last ride-out; maybe it wasn't the burger after all...

That's why I wash it out after using it and wash it out when I get home. I'm pretty obsessive when it comes to keeping things clean, so it won't be a problem for me
