Are you having problems riding in the rain?

Went on a karting day years ago and the helmets had a similiar design. It pissed with rain but the vision was superb. Maybe time for them to make a return?

YOU aint ever likely to need them ya fair weather nancy :slight_smile:

Looks like a good idea…

Why hasn’t anyone invented a motorised visor wiper like a wind screen wiper yet? :unsure:

There ya go…get your sketch pad out;)

they use these on ships too…they work a treat…would be easy to design a helmet with the same idea but it would not look pretty at all…wipers on the helmet seem like they should be possible too but both will need power and I guess its not particularly easy…but with modern engineering and materials it has to be doable…

Could use Kinetic power, and since you’re on a Kwak with stiff suspension, your head must be wobbling pretty damn often :wink:

:D:D:DOr a windmill on the back of your lid:w00t:

Daft to me.

I’ve seen those still in use in single seaters/ go karts in the last couple of years when racing. The guys gave 'em a quick spin before the green light to make sure it worked instantly for the first corner :cool:

Anyone remember the truck and bus mirrors on ‘Tomorrows World’ that were electric and spun to stay dry and clean? They obviously caught on :blink:

39/6 … errrrr thats £1.97.5p isn’t it Steve?:wink:
