    If you scan Ride magazine they've reviewed all things demistifying,
    I've left mine at work but I remember there is a spray that appears to
    work okay (and alot that are crap), washing up liquid doesn't work and
    the visor inserts come out tops.

  3. Odd but over the years I have found Bob Heath spray was very effective
    for about 5 minutes and thus fairly useless expensive tat, Fairy liquid
    (or good soap) between 1 and 2 hours before the effect starts wearing
    off and nothing beats double glazing. So I can only suggest that what
    you read in Ride was mostly utter fucking bollox but then what I know is
    based on experience and **** all to do with advertisers placing pressure
    on easily intoxicated journos to talk up the benefits of snake oil.

  4. A pinlock visor insert solves the problem completely, IME.

    Agreed. Pinlock inside (plus Rain-X outside for the wet trips).

  7. I had one of those pinclock things on my Shoei, I had to take it out as the
    top edge of it disected my line of vision perfectly.

    (PS - If anyone wants a brand new one (fitted once and removed) to fit a
    Shoei XR1000 then drop me a mail).

    But the water's been well muddied now.

  13. Maybe the arai ones are a bit higher or something, 'cause I reckon I'd
    have to have my head almost horizontal over the tank and really forcing
    my eyeballs upwards to be able to look through the top of the insert.
    It runs almost across the top of the visor, only dropping down for the
    brow vents at either side.

    Or maybe my eyes are unusually placed. Or maybe, just maybe, I ride
    like a big old ponce and my interpretation of being flat on the tank is
    not quite the same as other people's...

    So much depends on the shape of your head, and the helmet itself.
    Personally I've never liked the heads-down riding position, as it
    takes a huge toll on my neck, but on the rare occasions that I've done
    it I've certainly been limited by the upper edeg of the helmet.
    Ahh, could be. But it could simply be that the helmet sits at a
    different angle on your head. Are you a freak?
