Does anyone know of a guaranteed product to stop my visor fogging up? I've bought some spray stuff, and to be honest it makes it worse...

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

What make's your helmet?

If it's a Shoei then I'd recommend their own pinlock system....

Any other make and I'd use a fogcity insert. It's like double glazing for your visor and will not mist in ANY conditions provided you follow the fitting instructions properly.

The cleaner's fine thanks

Yup - got some riding done over the weekend - pretty cold but the bike handled superbly....the most I've pushed it so far is a toe down

How's yours? Getting more confident on it?

Toe down eh? Good stuff.....I'm still an absolute girl on mine.. Need to get on a track me thinks, and get the suspension looked at. T'was my first day commuting to work this morning, and was ok...But didn't filter past a single car!!!! Will try that tomorrow!

You know, I dream of doing that. I've even held my breath at the lights for half an hour before..... Not the way forward!!

Fairy liquid Wipe some on the visor with a dry cloth and then buff it off. Works a treat.

Apologies for using the word buff C2, but it was in context

Fog City insert on a clean or new visor. It is the only real solution. Will washing up liquid make your helmet look like a washing machine when it rains!

Don't thank me, thank Motorcycle Mechanics circa 1978

I've tried other stuff but Fairy seems to work better. Even works on grinding goggles

Fog city insert. I had the light sensitive one.

Absolutely fantastic. The only thing I have ever bought that works exactly as advertised.! If I was rich enough I'd buy the company

I got one of those....i still keep looking in the mirrors to see if its gone dark or not...hard to tell from inside till you open the visor

I have a fog city insert in one helmet and a similar pinlock one for my Arai. Both work really well. I'm waiting for a light sensitive pinlock for the Arai but I understand they're not available yet.
