  1. Have any of you tried using window solar type film on a clear visor? Shark visors are expensive, but I thought a solar film would work. The film costs about 7quid. I'm not sure the film would be easy to remove.
    Is this a stupid idea or worth a go?

  2. two pints of beer. Worth a go in my book. Not sure how you will get any bubbles out

  3. I tried this just as an exercise on an old clear visor that had a scratch and it was fine. Easy to apply and hairdryer to shrink it back. A bit of a trick on things like the pinlock studs but careful craft knife and you're Okay.

  8. Try that 3M wrap stuff that's on YouTube. Seems you float it on with spray from a bottle then use a scrim to take the bubble from the centre out. Looked bloody good on a bonnet and they can do bike paintwork to. Rob seems to be championing it elsewhere on the forum.

  11. I think it's called being lazy. I'm heading for birthday shopping tomorrow and will stop off and look again. Lucky it's cloudy here everyday

  15. The problem I have is a Shark visor is £70. I can go buy an agv K5 for £200 odd. Which I liked.

  16. Well now, yesterday I looked at Arai, Shoei, Agv. I can't justify the price of an Arai, I mean its just of my reach. The Shoei nxr and air are good fits, so is the K5 so McCallens are ordering in my size from the catalogue. In my humble opinion, the K5 is half the price of the Shoei, but not half the quality. I will probably buy the K5 when they arrive later in the week.

  19. I'm not listening la la la la la la

    All helmets are noisy :(

    Arai are too expensive for me. OK I will buy the Shoei?

  20. BTW, I have an important question, are there implications if you mess with a visor?
