Visor Fogging, how to prevent it ?

[stopintime]

I read the webbikeworld article and it mentioned a "kit" that included the pins.  I have Shark helmets and there are no visors available that have the pins in them.

Does anyone know if this kit is actually available?  I can't seem to find it, maybe I'll have to pull the pins out of an older HJC visor and find a way to install them into the Shark visor.

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I think you have to drill holes for the pins. They are in the visor kit.

Another great product is Brawndo: The Thirst Mutilator.

Everyone knows that water vapor cannot exist in its presence!

For that matter why not spray WD40 on the inside of the visor and then wipe it out . Got to be a residue of WD40 left on the Visor and it displaces water ?

OK, I give.  I cannot find a pinlock "kit" anywhere on the pinlock site.  All I see are replacement OEM shields and inserts, no universal kits.  I may have found one on a UK site, but that's as close as I've come.

Words of wisdom?

Based on that...and this, I have no idea why I haven't used it on my visor. I've used all the "Snake oils", Soap, toothpaste, shampoo, pins...etc. Not that some of them don't work ok/well, but I have to try it.

My Mom sent me this.

Leave it up to our parents,right?
 'Water Displacement #40' The product began from a search for a rust preventative solv ent and degreaser to protect missile parts.  WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company.  Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'water displacement' compound.  They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40.  The Convair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.

Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you.  When you read the 'shower door' part, try it.  It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door.  If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It's a miracle!  Then try it on your stove top .... Viola!  It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.

19. Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use WD-40!

39. WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a little on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time.  Also, it's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states.
40. Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch.
41 WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls.  Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.
42. Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and rewash. Presto! The lipstick is gone!
43. If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start.

P. S. The basic ingredient is FISH OIL ..

The list is partially true...partially typical email crap.

WD-40 is a petroleum product, not fish oil. Here's a link to the MSDS:

NO.  REALLY?   
   
Thanks for the clarification, cuz I was about to try to brush my teeth with it. 

I just thought it was fun to read.

+3 on the Pinlock.  I've had mine for the past three years and nothing else I've tried works as well.  Spendy, but worth every penny for a product that works EVERY time.

Sorry man...never know what people actually believe!

Your right, I just modified it.

If it's in print it must be true.   

Hey Dolf, I did try it & go figure...it works pretty good on my Arai RX7. 

And you can't beat the price, I've had a can in the garage for years.

I did read that WD-40 is good for erectile dysfuntion, but only if taken internally.  That's what the skinner red tube is for.

It works, so no smiley required  The red tube is a little sharp though...

I also saw that your doctor can prescribe it in capsule form if you don't like the taste.


Here's one for both of us just in case

Rain X makes an anti fog wipe for windshields, but I have no FHE with it.

[needtorque]

The RainX will work but I would just buy the antifog lens.  My cheapo Scorpion helm (which seems to function great in every aspect but has yet to be crash tested) had an antifog visor on it when I bought it and it has yet to fog up on me even in the mornings with the cool moist air out.
