I had it for two years in AK... but then on my Indy trip last year... the night before... I decide to thoroughly clean my visor.... so I took it off and over to the sink.

apparently the fog city visor hadn't sealed or had become separated at some point... and i got water between it and the visor... and couldn't get it out... except by removing it... thinking I could just score another down the road... that's what I did.


NO motorcycle shop I stopped at had one... pissed me off

Clear... just cause my tinted visor was skuffed in a crash and I was too cheap to replace it.

I bring both a clear and a dark smoke to the track and decide which one to use when I get there. I go clear on overcast days and dark smoke on sunny days.

Mirrored or dark smoke most times. If I know I'll be out past dark then I change it before I leave...otherwise fuck it.

Ditto, I HATE carrying extra crap around, so I opted for the 1000, had it on order for months. LOVE IT. Other than its ridiculous heaviness.

See above, its great for everything, but the weight takes some adjusting to.

Kell, most people look like a dork hitting up the turns. Half the time I get pictures I am biting my bottom lip and look like a damn chipmunk. Its ok, really.

I don't care what you say.... a dark smoke shield looks 800000x more badass, hands down... so that's what I wear. I do it for the kids, ya heard?

except if its raining and pretty overcast... then i'll suck it up and do the clear deal

Mirror looks 10000x better than the dark smoke IMO
