• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Visor fog

Tried to go riding this evening. 28 degrees. Perfectly comfortable with my current gear but...

my glasses. my visor. Completely fogged up.

So I came home.

Now I know I should not have left the helmet in the garage. First mistake. But I need any suggestions for products or techniques.

Is there some great antifog stuff I should get? Also the Garmin was useless. Completely white from the cold. Should that be kept in the house too until I go riding and will it continue to stay visible as I ride for awhile?

Thanks.

PS - Can you tell most of my riding years were spent in California and Hawaii? lol
 
Try Googling heated visors. They're quite popular in the snowmobiling community. You may even find one that fits your motorcycle helmet.:f_spider:
 
I'm not sure about your gps. But I use a product called "cat crap" to handle fog on my visors. I've never used it on prescription glasses though. I'm sure there are other products as well.

I use fogtech-

Zooke is another one. Cat Crap was not good on my coated glasses, but the Zooke doesn't seem to hurt them. I haven't tried it riding in the cold yet, however.
 
The only thing I've gotten to work on the snowmobile is a heated shield and contact lenses. I was never able to stop my glasses from fogging.
 
cheap anti fog

we use joy soap on the in side of the visor in the spring and fall in mini sprint and as an added bonus your helmet smells lemon fresh.nojoke

Look up PINLOCK they are a little bit of money but they will not fog up. I use one on the wing and ride in weather down in the 20's with no problem. You just have to make sure it will fit your helmet.:2thumbs:

Good point! The Fog City visor inserts are another hardware option. Won't help with the glasses, though.
 
Thanks for all the great suggestions. I am trying the Zooke Red kit first. It seems to cover all the bases as long as it works. The Pinlock is very interesting but I think I will wait until Shoei offers it preinstalled in a visor. Unless these coating products are a terrible fail.

Thanks for your help. I do like the idea of the lemony fresh visor though. Might try that before my fancy products arrive. lol

I have an RF1000 and there is a pinlock visor offered by Shoei.
It's a CX-1V shield and then you need the pinlock insert of choice. Some sites offer them together like here.

Update on the Zooke, which I just got at the Cycle World IMS yesterday. I haven't ridden yet, but I came inside from 6 degrees and a -8 windchill this morning, after getting the newspaper, and for the first time ever, my glasses didn't fog except at the edges for a scant moment. Usually I can't see anything at all, and they stay fogged for at least five minutes unless I wash or wipe them. This stuff actually works, even with my coated glasses. I think the possibilities are excellent for riding. Can't wait to try it, even on my windshields. Bye-bye Rain-X, hello Zooke.
 
After riding for years I've found the best solution is just crack the visor open a bit and it only takes a minute for everything to clear up. And it doesn't cost a dime.

I use Hockey Visor Spray. I-Tech is about $8 a 4 oz bottle but I find that Fog-off works well too. I just switch the bottle from my hockey bag to my saddle bag. I find I have to apply it each time I go out, but a light quick wipe lasts the entire day.

:agree::agree: Plus you don't have chemicals a 1/4 inch from your nose.

I tried that; plus my Arai has a small slide button to do that also and neither has worked for me.

The Red kit has all three versions of Zooke's products so I plan to try all three. Glasses, visor, and a camera lens.

Ill let you all know how they fair.

Happy New Year
