Buying a motorcycle is one of the most valuable purchases you will make, therefore you need to ensure you are safe on the roads with all the appropriate accessories and one vital item is your helmet visor.
You need to try and keep your visor scratch-free otherwise you will have to regularly replace it so here are a few simple points to consider before and after you have been out on your bike.
Always keep your visor clean and you can do this simply with dishwashing liquid and water. There are many good quality cleaning products available on the market which you could use to ensure the cleanest finish.
You should only use a soft cloth to clean your visor, do not use abrasive pads or harsh cloths, and always make sure you rinse well.
If you have a selection of spare visors it is a good idea to protect them from scratching by keeping them in a soft visor bag.
Riding in wet weather can cause chaos with your visor. To eliminate rain from building up on it and impairing your vision, apply a product which encourages water to roll right off the visor. When riding you can simply turn your head to the left and right which helps the water roll off the visor. You can also purchase gloves with a strip on the finger which you can wipe across your visor to clear it when it is raining.
If your visor becomes foggy while riding in the rain then simply open the vents or just open the visor a touch every now and again to help eliminate this problem quickly. There are a number of products available which you can fit to the inside of your visor to stop it steaming up. If you are planning on riding through winter then this is a must have to keep you vision clear.
