Helmet sun blocker
Back in the dark ages prior to the RevZilla, MotorCycle Superstore and others. Old riders would cover the top portion of the helmet screen with black electrical tape, placed on the inside of the screen. Effective, cheap and easy to apply. Now days I push the visor button on my Nolan helmet and instant sunshade.

Another product for review is the SunVizor. This product attaches to the visor screen and should not affect the visor operation.
Good Luck

+1 on the old electrical tape trick. Also, the other cheapskate way is to get a small strip of car window tint film and apply it to the top of the visor. Same idea for pennies a helmet. *INSIDE* where the rain/wind does not rip it off.

... Motorcycles are kind of like Baskin Robbins... You're looking at 31 flavors of ice cream, don't you kind of want to know what they all taste like?...

I have been there too, that is way I still use the electrical tape, just old fashion.
Good luck

I have used electric tape for most of my riding years. It just seems to be perfectly wide enough to cover the sun.

Me too. One and a half strips across the top of the visor does it without causing any limitations in my view riding normally.

I have a visor that goes from clear to dark depending on the amount of sunlight. very good and works great. No need for sunglasses and can keep my regular glasses on with no need to change out.

Window Tint
I was having my rear glass tinted and while in their shop I had my helmet in the truck
I noticed he had several shades of darkness of the tinting material, I picked the dark one
and had him apply some to the top of my shield .... wow works great.

Yup! You can still look up through it, and see the stoplights...

I bought the roll of tinting film for about twelve bucks on EBay.
That is what I did also. Works very well.

SunAx shields also work well..
I've used one of these in my helmets for several years:

Why pay $'s
Wow,
I just close my eyes, drive like those people texting.
Let the other guy watch out for me.
Quick, easy, cheap.
Started out with a seeing eye dog(s), but found they just could not keep up much above 45mph.
