Yes, you can't see shit!  Even the speedo cluster is hard to look at.

Is the mirror finish worse than a smoke tinted screen?

I would say yes.  I'm not sure if it's the mirror finish on the type of visor/brand I own, but it definetly seems darker (more grayish hues) then my dark smoke visor.  Like I said, the cluster is difficult to look at night and there is generlly less visibility.....

Your mileage may vary but for me the change was evident.

I believe the mirrored visor is a bit faster no?

It actually gives you 1.5bhp at the front wheel.

Are you serious about the 1.5 hp increase at the front?
Just asking because I put on a 33.5 up there and need the extra hp to outrun the back.

mirrored is slick.

but if you have a black helmet, you should go with a black visor.

and a black jacket, and gloves.

and then turn your head and stare directly at drivers, while stopped at traffic lights. maybe wag a finger at them if they've been doing something stupid.

;D
